I thought "God" loves everybody?

Maybe. That's why I used "condemned" there, rather than saying those whom God doesn't love or some such. Some would take the position that God loves every individual to start, but after a time withdraws his love for the rebellious. One could also say that God's love continues no matter what, but he is also just, and his sense of justice overrules his love in the final judgment of the unrepentant. 

So, it's probably clearer to refer to those people who do or do not love God.
