Except God doesn't do that eye for an eye thing. Instead, He'd have each of them realize what they had done was evil, they would show their remorse, then they would have a seat next to Him as everyone else does.

And, yeah, let's torture them, since evil begets evil. Of course, the best method for this is to be hanged, drawn, and quartered. And it would be best to let your children watch... it would be a rich moral lesson, especially for the younger ones.
