I have a problem with all the verses about brutalizing some hobo to keep my debt from getting called in.
I answered the ones you posted earlier. You did not ask me a question you made a statement about another paying for your sins, and ask what I thought about the verses pertaining to Christ's part in the act of mercy. I hate that my sin was responsible for what He went through, I'm glad He did accomplish what he set out to do through His love for mankind, an unconditional love. If He had not my destination would certainly be different than what it is.
Now you going to answer my question or keep playing games?

How 'bout you answer mine, hypocrite? Coward?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

Too bad for your desired view that there's that pesky verse which explicitly says that He doesn't take pleasure in the death of the wicked.

countered by all the ones where he does
Can pointing out more bible contradictions really help your cause ?
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Look, doofus, the goodness of a being should be inversely proportional to the degree of the evil they commit. The creation and implementation of an eternal torture chamber is literally the worst possible thing imaginable. Go ahead, think of something worse. The worse pain, endlessly. Got something to top that? Didn't think so. So, if this being is the perpetrator of this worst-possible-thing-imaginable, there's literally no good they can possibly do that will ever do anything but balance them out to a net 'zero' level of neutrality between good or evil. Unless, of course, they rescinded that evil idea (hard to imagine something as prideful as a god going, "Oops, total bonehead, dick move on my part there, sorry, folks.") But good luck getting a consensus on that. So the fact that he can make someone like you believe that he takes no pleasure in it, matters less than no fucks. The fact that it was conceived of as a 'just' punishment for anything, ANYTHING a lowly, imperfect, ignorant and frightened mortal could possibly do in their limited lifespan, is INCONTROVERTIBLE FUCKING PROOF that this being is a malicious fucking sadist with no sense of mercy or proportion. Let that be a reflection on you, you piece of rotting ass garbage. You want to look better in the eyes of actual decent human beings? Kick that fucker to the curb and take a giant shit on it while you're at it. Otherwise? Go find someone else mentally ill to fall deeper into your madness and leave the rest of us to actually making the world a better place and cleaning up your fucking messes.

LOL, strongest argument for God not listening to the shrieks of the damned is since he's omniscient, he's already heard everything they can do.
And I'm surprised no one "on the other side" has mentioned my idea for a New and Improved Hell. It's where an omniscient deity already can savvy out the end state of a given damned soul after an infinite duration of infinite suffering, and would have the ability to inflict it instantaneously upon admission to the fiery lake.
No over crowding in a hell run like that, and no fucking screaming either.
So, you're here to be damned?
Yeah . .
OK, here it comes, an endless eternity of infinite pain administered instantaneously.

Check out my 'why would this have been so hard' thread in the Xtianity section, the last two paragraphs or so being a proposal for an alternative.
