Is purposeless torture moral? Apr 12th 2012, 16:06 Is purposeless torture moral? Most governments seem to believe that torture is an immoral and evil thing and most do not have what we would call a torture chambers. Let's ignore Guantanamo Bay and other exceptions please. Religions do not seem to agree with this because religions promise a place of torture for evil souls and some believers will even drop a church that preaches that there is no hell. It seems that some believers want badly that there be this place of purposeless torture. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lv_rmQuagpY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=baGww...feature=relmfu Hell is a place of purposeless torture and pain. It is used purely for revenge retribution and cruelty. Some say we choose hell and some think that God, as our judge, sentences us to it. Some think it is eternal while some think that it and its occupants are eventually dumped into a lake of fire and destroyed. A long period of torture to some and a short term of torture to others. From a moral standpoint, to even create such a place would not be moral. Is it moral for God to use or let others choose to use his torture chamber called hell or the lake of fire? Regards DL
