I suppose this is the question you were asking me to answer, I really do not know why, you will not accept it as an answer, I stated this before and if I could find it I would refer you to that post.
First of all God is not a torturer, even if hell is a place of eternal fire. Secondly God does not decide who goes to hell, every person makes a choice scripture makes that very clear. God gave the 10 Commandments to expose sin for what it is, now man can not say there is no sin. God sacrificed his Son to redeem man from their sin. Those who choose to believe through faith in Christ will be forgiven their sin, those who choose to reject Christ and the saving grace he has brought to man will not have their sin forgiven, this is the plan of salvation, planned before creation. Everyone will be judged by the law that has sin in them, those who have their sin forgiven will not be judged by the law, I described above how one receives forgiveness. Those who are covered by the sacrifice of Christ will be found sinless and will enter eternal life in Heaven.
Those who rejected Christ will as I said before be judged by the law. Those who are judged by the law will be found guilty and be sentenced to hell. Just as a judge in our courts sentences someone to jail the judge is not responsible for the person being in jail, God is not responsible for the person that is found guilty, being in hell. Now that it's established that the person in hell is responsible for his/her situation let's look at what I believe hell to be.
The Lake of Fire is reserved for satan and his cronies. God said that hell is a dark place, so how is it possible to have fire in hell if it's a dark place. Hell is a place of loneliness, regret and a place where one can keep on rejecting Christ and become more resentful of being in hell. Where one can continue to curse God as they did in life before death. Sorrowfulness, despair, hate, turmoil and ect. will rule ones life for eternity. God gave one what he/she chose, to allow one into heaven would be a place unacceptable to someone who did not love Christ in this life. So you see God is just by giving one the choice he/she made in this life and not allowing them to suffer an existence in Heaven. All the atheist on this site have stated they would not want to live an eternity with God, so that's what he will give those who choose such, to me this is one statement made by nonbelievers that confirms why there is a hell for those who do not believe.
That thing can actually type, Amazing.
