Why do you think it’s God who’s torturing these people. He’s the one that sustains them. Why don’t you put the blame for their condition on people, not god? Tin pot dictators who could alleviate conditions but don’t?
You're kidding right? I never made any such insinuation or assertion. If you stab yourself in the leg with a knife, God may have given you the free choice to do so, but God did not stab you in the leg. Similarly, those that reject God and choose eternal alienation from Him do so of their own free will. They have chosen hell. God has gone out of His way, including sending his son to earth to die a horrific death so that we might be saved. He has given us explicit instructions as to how to follow and find Him, but He will not make that choice for us.

You do realize we're talking about eternal damnation, right? Not conditions here on earth...
