Why would you worship a God who considers eternal torture a reasonable punishment?

For those who consider Hell to be a literal place.

There is not a single person who has ever lived that I would send to Hell. No, not even him. At some point, it’s been enough torture, and now we’re really making a statement about me and not the wrongdoer.

I’m not that great, but I’d have to consider myself morally superior to a being that sends people to Hell. I could fear that being, and obey it, if I thought it existed. But I could never worship it, or believe it was capable of loving me.

How do believers square that?
