How is this moral?


The torment is merely the absence of God.

Each person chooses to accept of reject God.

Those good persons who reject God, do so freely.

I see no issue regarding lack of fairness or justice.

Really?

That's not what the Bible says:

"If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." -- John 15:6
"The Lord Jesus ... in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God ... who shall be punished with everlasting destruction." -- 2 Thessalonians 1:7-9
"The same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God ...he shall be tormented with fire and brimstone ... And the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever." -- Revelation 14:10-11
"The fearful, and unbelieving ... shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." -- Revelation 21:8


Yes, but Jesus suffered the cross and separation from God so that you won't have to suffer any of the things you list. If anyone rejects his punishment in their stead, then it's their own fault.

It would be like a man dying in the cold when all the while someone was pleading with him to go into the new home that had been bought for him.
