God, as the omniscient entity that it is, should know and understand every single person's motivations... and thus find no blame on them... and automatically forgive them for everything.
Under this view, Hell would be a useless notion, as no one would be deserving of it.
Everyone automatically qualifies for heaven.
Meaning that hell is a man-made construct. God would not do such a thing for there would be no need for it.
God would understand those evil doers and would understand why they want nothing to do with him and would forgive them for it... and he would maybe want to show them the right path as soon as possible, in the best way possible.
That is an excellent showing of how primitive the concept of Hell and revenge-think is - and how just, plain wrong it is.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
