What type of a person would actually consider eternal torture of any form as just and even worse?

Someone who ignores logic and reason.

It is important to note that the Bible DOES NOT teach that God will send individuals to a place of eternal torment and suffering. When God told Adam and Eve what their punishment would be, he simply said in Genesis 3:19: "For dust you are and to dust you will return.” Adam would go back to the same exact condition he was in before he was created: Non-existence. God never told him he would suffer for all eternity.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 says that the "dead are conscious of nothing at all." Psalms 146:4 shows that when one dies their "thoughts do perish."

Interestingly, in the Criswell Theological Review, Professor Pinnock writes: “Everlasting torment is intolerable from a moral point of view because it makes God into a bloodthirsty monster who maintains an everlasting Auschwitz for victims whom he does not even allow to die.” He asks: “How can anyone with the milk of human kindness in him remain calm contemplating such an idea [the traditional doctrine of hell]? . . . How can Christians possibly project a deity of such cruelty and vindictiveness?”

Even Catholic theologian Hans Küng asks: “Should the God of love .  .  . watch for all eternity this endless, hopeless, pitiless, loveless, cruel physical-psychological torture of his creatures?...Is he such a hardhearted creditor? .  .  . What would we think of a human being who satisfied his thirst for revenge so implacably and insatiably?”

To know what the Bible really teaches regarding this matter, read the following:

A very False religion. The bible states that God is love and merciful not an evil hater that would enjoy the burning of his own creations just to watch them suffer.

Man loves to form god in his own image. The god in the bible sure does have human characteristics.

What if god is just whatever life is, which is everything that exists in the universe?

What if sin is just missing the point of life, which is to fully live in the present moment? - which is all that exists.

God = that which = the present = truth

Misconception. God does not eternal torture people who reject Him when they die in their sins. He righteous executes justice against sin as punishment. Punishment is not torture. Punishment is deserved for breaking the perfect law of God.

One who thinks he's escaped the punishment, I think.

But few Christians really believe everything that the Bible teaches. It shows death and hell both being cast into the "lake of fire" after they are emptied of their captives. The lake of fire is an archetype of destruction. Death is destroyed. Hell is destroyed. Hell is never forever.

I guess most simply don't understand how loving and merciful God is. How can they, since their churches teach them that we are not the children of God?

I think the same people who believe in this heaven/hell concept (eternal punishment/reward for a finite 'sin') are the same ones who support the death penalty.

What makes YOU think God created hell for YOU?

God actually wrote in the Kings James bible that He created hell and the lake of fire for the devil and his angels!

God doesn't throw people in to hell,by their choice to adopt the character of Satan by daily practice they become like Satan and so the only place that's spiritually fit for them after death is hell.

After death,as or like a magnetic attraction the people who didn't agree with god are pulled into or dropped into hell by sameness of darkness that's in them,that they allowed to come into them by agreeing with Satan instead of God!

-------

God only throws people in to the lake of fire AFTER the last judgement where each person stands before God and all the heavenly angels and saved Christians!

They pass before everyone so as to make clear that God tried everything He could to save them,but by agreeing with satans lies on earth they chose not to be saved but to live in a state of continuous rebellion against God exactly as satan does!

I guess the same "person" (???) who took who left his Heavenly state, took on human form, and died with the full weight of all the sins of humanity on his soul...even though he had no sin himself. That's the type of "person" who provided a way out of Hell because we'd all be going except for Jesus.

You don't go to Hell as punishment for not accepting Jesus, but because you didn't allow him to save you. He has opened the door of the burning house...go through the door!

A total idiotic deluded fanatic without heart and brain.

Dictionaries define “righteousness” as behavior that is morally justifiable or right. Such behavior is characterized by accepted standards of morality, justice, virtue, or uprightness. The Bible’s standard of human righteousness is God’s own perfection in every attribute, every attitude, every behavior, and every word. Thus, God’s laws, as given in the Bible, both describe His own character, and constitute the plumb line by which He measures human righteousness.

The Greek New Testament word for righteousness primarily describes conduct in relation to others, especially with regards to the rights of others in business, in legal matters, and beginning with relationship to God. It is contrasted with wickedness, the conduct of the one who, out of gross self-centeredness, neither reveres God nor respects man. The Bible describes the righteous person as just or right, holding to God and trusting in Him (Psalm 33:18-22).

In His Sermon on the Mount, Jesus uttered these words: “You therefore must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48). This comes at the end of the section of the sermon where Jesus corrects His listeners’ misunderstanding of the law. In Matthew 5:20, Jesus says that if His hearers want to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven, their righteousness must exceed that of the Pharisees who were the experts in the law.
