Now it is really getting interesting - this is the third question in a row (after this one and this one ). So please make sure you read those two to understand this one in context.

In fact they are absolute in so far as they > are granted by an absolute God. **My question is:** How is God allowed to breach these undeniable human rights for example by extensive torturing people? *Again: Please make sure you read the other questions and especially [this](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/2258/are-love-and-hate-in-a-harmonious-balance-within-god/2263#2263) and [this](https://christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/2265/how-can-things-considered-bad-when-done-by-humans-become-good-when-god-does-them/2267#2267) answer and the comments to make sure that you understand the context of this question! Thank you!*
