Do you believe in a God that Tortures people for eternity? [I Christian]

Some christians believe it but are troubled by a god that seems so evil.

Some christians delight in the thought of hell and cant wait to laugh at their enemies burning alive for eternity(these are called psychopaths)

And some christians try to not speculate what exactly hell or heaven are, or perhaps they have some interpretation that eases their conscience.

What do you think about the concept of eternal torture? Do believe it is the best form of punishment/justice that the omnipotent mind of a loving God could devise? Or maybe just the vindictive musings of a primitive warmongering society?

No, I don’t believe in it. It’s just a tool to motivate belief through fear.

If you need the motive of potential eternal torture to behave righteously, what does that say about your behavior? What does that say about the foundation of your moral code?

The Old Testament Sheol is not even described as a place of eternal torment. That’s something that came later and was probably inspired by Greek mythology.
