I keep running into self proclaimed Christains who claim god "isnt like that" and they don't believe in Hell.
Isn't that like having your cake and eating it too? There's an entire book dedicated to it in the New Testament after all..
May not be a new topic for you but I want to refresh my memory on the subject with anyone (within reason) whose interested.
I don't know about suffering in Hell, or how/why it would be worse than suffering in this life, but in terms of suffering in this life, God probably figured it was better for humans to suffer and exist than not suffer and not exist, by which I mean, suffering might have been an essential ingredient when creating humanity.
