**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!*
