I think you all might be coming from a point of religious/Christian conviction. I understand your point but respectfully disagree with it.
I believe God would not want us to suffer needlessly or to teach us some kind of lesson in humility through torture. He will have his chance in the afterlife for any of that.
On this we would have to agree to disagree.
you have just summarized the problem of pain.
Why does God give us pain?
There are no easy answers in any religion. But suffering exists.
So what would you do about it?
and if you start saying “kill everyone who is suffering” to stop their pain, you will end up killing a lot of people.
or you could dedicate your life to helping the suffering, maybe by just helping those around you with little things.
When YOU charecterize a thing as “torture” that God does not regard as torture YOU are playing God. In other words you accept God’s creation but only up until a certain point...
