Gods purpose for us all is to achieve fulfillment. Us torturing ourselves in hell, both present and post mortem, is God showing his love for us. If love didn't require justice then it would be worthless.
No, he created subjects upon whom he showers merciless egotism. Paul's definition of love in Corinthians, oddly enough, is a standard that his god cannot meet. The Bible itself controverts this "argument", such as it is, of yours:
the Apostle Paul Wrote:1 Corinthians 13:4-8 New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.

I've emphasized the portions that conflict with a god which uses hell as a cudgel, holds souls ransom for want of bleating praise, and generally demeans humans, even to the extent of killing every single human who ever lived for the sins of Adam and Eve.
The convolutions of logic you manage in order to wall off your preconceived notions from the blade of reason are interesting to watch as they unfold. It's funny to watch you leave footprints on floor you've just painted.

Wow wierd question lol. Can you be more specific please?
You claim to be in touch with reality even as you proselytize about an imaginary being. I want to know, specifically, what makes you think you're in touch with reality, when your ideas so clearly aren't.
Show me your qualifications for making such claims as you have. Personally, you strike me as just as deluded as any other fanatic, and very normal in that regard -- no great shakes, eh? Possessed of no great insight, lurching from claim to claim trying to hold your argument together with duct-tape and chicken-wire. Tell me, what makes your views any less delusional than those of a Santeria practitioner? Or a Voodou follower? Or a Jew? Or ... ?
Tell us what you know about reality.
