If we're dealing with a god that maintains a place of eternal punishment, I don't think anyone is a position to assess what it's up to and whether or not it can actually be trusted. There's just something about the concept that's setting off all kinds of alarms.
God is eternal and any unforgiven sin against Him is eternal, therefore the punishment must be eternal. The sin doesn't go away there is no resolution of the sin leaving no alternative but an eternal punishment. Also, there has to be a balance and eternal life with God is balanced by eternal life without God, to have the one the other must exist.

That would be a gross injustice. Justice happens when punishments are proportionate to the harm caused. Human justice is apparently superior to god's justice, and human injustice is not as severe as god's injustice.
