Actually, it can get even more simple than that. If god is all knowing, then he already knew and felt all of the suffering of hellfire of all the souls that would be damned to hell before he even created the first person.
This isnt just "knowledge" like we humans identify it. A book didnt tell him. He KNOWS everything. which means he felt every single second of pain from every single soul he damned to hell for eternity before he even considered creating the universe.
How can someone "know all" when eternity exists in that situation? Hell never stops. It keeps going and going unending. how is it possible to "know all" when something like that exists?
the whole concept of Hell is not well thought out. I agree, it was invented to scare ignorant people into compliance.
