I reject the idea that fairness comes from a humanistic emphasis.

"Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: ..."
Isaiah 1:18a (ESV)
God gave us the ability to reason and consider, and in these last days He has given us of His very character. You have intellectualized and rationalized God as a monster.
Oz, do you need my other post spelled out? Hell is where the rich man was in torments, and the passage you use to say there is a state of torment after death. But in Revelation we are told that very same hell is tossed into the lake of fire, which is the second death.
You cannot show me a second life after death - or is hell burning forever even as it burns sinners forever? You're stuck defending your position instead of the truth.
Use the God given reason - people find themselves repulsed at the idea of someone burning forever for crimes committed in an instant by comparison. Why are they repulsed? The same reason murder and theft and cruelty repulse them - our God given reasoning.
You are saying that God is a cruel monster. __________________
