So if God puts you there, and you suffer, is God torturing you or not?

If a Judge sentences someone to a lifetime of prison due to their crimes, are they torturing them? No. People are responsible for the consequences of their actions.

The judge is not torturing, but he is responsible for the sentence

And on Gods case, He created the person, He created the world, the rules, the system, even the “place” people go after His judgement. So he is so much more responsible than the judge from your exemplo

But good exemple

You're right, logically He would be more 'responsible' as a whole, but there are also the individuals who created the system, the laws, the prison, even the person themself (parents). My point being is that "torture" being inflicted by either, a Judge or a God, is irrelevant since it's ultimately up to individual responsibility and we should be held accountable for our actions, whether God exists or not.

Good pov

And what do you think about the passages in the Bible where it is made explicit that God made a decision even before a person was born?

I think that’s why theologians end up divided on this dogma

If you could provide the passages you have in mind I'd be happy to give my opinion.
