The only person god is obliged to is god. If god desires something, no one stands in his way. If god truly desires that none suffer in hell, then none will suffer in hell. Otherwise god is conflicted, and therefore his well-being is suddenly in the hands of his creation. He must spend eternity worried, because unless he removes free will, there will always be the opportunity for someone to hurt him by rejecting him.
It does not make sense for him to create that kind of reality around himself.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
