If he was a good god, he would not ask you because you would find it repulsive. But if he was a good god, he also would not allow Hell to exist for the same reason.

God is good. He would not ask anyone to torture someone in hell. God tells us in the Bible at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10: For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all...All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in She'ol, the place to which you are going. The dead are unconscious, meaning all of their senses are deaden so therefore, they can;t torture or be tortured by anyone. "Hell," "She'ol," and "Hades" simply means mankind's common grave. When Satan told Eve the very first lie in Genesis 3:4 "you positively will not die," many people still believe that lie. They believe in life after death. God can't lie. Whatever God tells us, it would prove to be. Therefore, we should put our trust in Jehovah, the Almighty God and actually try to attain accurate knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. Look up information by going to your library, visit this website www.watchtower.org,etc. Do your upmost to acquire accurate knowledge for it is vital to all of mankind in these last days.

Because we are doing enough torturing of the unfaithful heathens here on Earth.

Anyone who is in Hell will torture themselves with the knowledge that they had an opportunity to enter the Kingdom of Heaven, and rejected that opportunity.

The religious myth needs a bad guy, so they invented the devil and hell to take care of that fictional element. Otherwise they couldn't explain pain and sin. They can't have God torturing people and be infinite good, so he invents someone else to do his dirty work. It's just amazing what blind faith will believe.

Because "God" knows that no such place exists. Because a loving "God" would never torture anybody nevertheless assign the job to someone else. We are all "His" children, right?

I disagree with the last person. i think the world is beutiful, and that there is a greater place and a greater being somewhere. Pain is just caused by humans.

Because you successfully torture yourself eternally in hell, with self-imposed remorse for rejecting the greatest free gift ever offered in the history of the universe (the free gift offered being Jesus' salvation for you)

Because Jesus can torture much better than I can. I couldn't inflict anywhere near the pain Jesus can.
