Also, the concept of a super intelligent entity torturing someone

That would be an inconsistency of values, but not a logical
contradiction.
Yes. And self-torture exists. It is called masochism. Is God a
masochist? That would explain some things, but I am not sure "It"
can qualify for that, as God, according to many religious theories,
has no nameable attribute.
Then he would have no attributes at all. Do they not attribute
existence to their God? "Creator" "Immortality"...
Not the neoplatonist, with their negative theology, nor really the
mystics, with their silence. Nor comp, with the G/G* distinction.
The others are using a bad entheogen, I am afraid, which makes them
talk too much, perhaps.
