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.

I don't interpret hell as being forever, but either way people won't go there because they stole a candy bar, but because they refused to accept the salvation that was being offered to them.
