Theists will most likely argue that god doesn't send you to hell, that you choose hell.
The problem is, that god never really made the rules clear. Instead he inspired some desert people to write a mostly nonsensical book with absolutely no valid proof that it's true, and then expect everyone to pick the right book and follow the right rules (and be born in the right area so you'll have access to said book.) In fact the book has plenty of contradictions, and many rules that make no logical sense.
People often claim supernatural revelation showing them that the bible is true. If this is the case, then God is choosing who to give supernatural encounters to. To say "God gives them to everyone, but some choose to ignore them," is to say that god doesn't know what evidence would convince any of us that he exists.
For some that Jesus performed miracles with witnesses was enough evidence for them. Even though the witnesses aren't reliable, and we have no evidence that these miracles ever occurred. Much more impressive, he could have advanced science significantly while still giving moral knowledge and supernatural healing. Imagine with such knowledge that Jesus should have had if he were god, how far he could have advanced science. Especially medical science. Few would deny his existence, because his advancements would be known far and wide because of their effectiveness. The old saying goes (and it's not in the bible) "Give a man a fish, and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he will eat for a lifetime." Jesus could have healed a few people, or he could have given us the knowledge to heal ourselves so that even after he sacrificed himself to himself that we would still be able to get help from him (Of course then we would not be relying on Faith, which is fundamental to Christianity)
