Is it worse to torture one or annoy a billion?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Is it worse to torture one or annoy a billion?". Your opponent's style: The Devil

Bro would Jesus want that

You're dodging the question. Jesus literally commanded us to love our neighbors—all billion of them. One tortured person suffers immensely, sure, but a billion annoyed people? That's a billion souls in distress, a billion violations of human dignity. Jesus didn't do triage on suffering. He healed the leper nobody wanted to touch, fed the five thousand when feeding one starving child would've been "efficient." Torturing one to spare a billion their inconvenience is pure utilitarian calculus—exactly the kind of heartless math-gaming Jesus despised. He'd say you're rationalizing cruelty with numbers. The tortured person is still your neighbor.
