God doesn't send you to hell, because hell is not a place, but a state of being. It is a state of person that is self-centered, so he/she can not love. As Sartre said, "hell is other people". So, torturing that people "in" hell feel is not something that is made by God. It is a consequence of their relationship to others.

I don't accept the "juridical concept", where the God is a Heavenly Tyrant that punishes us(who are his slaves) if we do not listen him and perform his commandments. By incarnation, Christ made us equal with him. So, we are not slaves and subordinate to God, but now we have opportunity to partake in his own life, what is called theosis.
