Infinite versus finite?
Is it just for God to punish man with an infinite punishment for mans finite sin?
Since it's an infinite torment, and there is no means for retribution; also, it is not a disciplinary action as the torment has no intentions of curving or correcting behavior, isn't it safe to say that our pain is for his personal pleasure?

There is no such thing called a god who created the world. Therefore I dont think about him. But if he is real I may also think like you and hate him for what he do. If that the case he who responsible for all our suffering in this world because if we never born there will be no sufferings.

It is the infinite God we have offended, therefore, the sin results in an infinite offense against God.
That is why Jesus came to save us. He is God in the flesh. His life is of infinite value.
His sacrifice is the only provision acceptable to God the Father.

Suppose that Hell was just the grave, being buried and not existing any longer. And that choice was ours, to choose it or Heaven where we WOULD still exist.
Hell would be a permanent end, for both body and soul, and spirit. No pain, no consciousness. No being alive any more. Simple as that.
But those who DO want to be with God, can choose to do so, and they, will leave their body in the grave, but their soul and spirit will continue to live.
God allows us to make these choices. He does not force it upon us, it is OUR decision.
And God simply obliges. If a person wants to cease to exist after this life...so be it.
