God dooms people to hell by creating a reality where hell is a necessary feature. Seriously, what sort of deity builds hell into the universe as if it were a cool add-on? You are arguing for a sane and competent deity here, yes?
The same kind that made this world a meat grinder full of heterotrophs..even though it could clearly magic autotrophs into being. This is why natural theology failed christianity. The natural world suggests things about a hypothetical god what created it which none of the faithful are willing to accept.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
