In Hell the 'unfit' do nothing other than being tortured for eternity. Leaving moral aspects aside, this is just a pointless waste of energy. Why would he do so rather than just alter them to meet his requirements? Do we have to consider that the 'unfit' go to Hell for those in Heaven to see them being tortured?
In fact in light of Omnipotence even finite punishment by a divine being doesn't make sense. Punishment makes sense for humans who sometimes know no better means of enforcing social rules but not for someone who can casually alter human character.
Very true it is contradictory for an all loving god to send people to hell.
That raises a question does god only specifically love people in the case of Christianity god is not all loving only loving specific people of a specific mind set.
the only beings in heaven god the dog from lassie and the only moral person in the world.
