Could He let them out if he wanted to? Or does He choose to let them suffer unspeakable torments forever?

Yes, I believe the Bible teaches that God loves every person. He created every person and so it is not surprising that he loves them. The thing is, it is not God but people themselves that choose to spend eternity in Hell, separated from God. God has given each one of us the opportunity to accept salvation through him. We don't have to do a thing-- just believe that he has done this for us and confess to him that you believe. It is a lot to explain in a post, but it is our sin that has condemned us to Hell. Each of us has sinned and Hell is what we deserve. But God loved us enough to sacrifice himself on a cross and take our sins on himself so that if we believe he did this for us, we can spend eternity with him in Heaven, and even better, we can have a relationship with him here on Earth. You can read about all of this in the New Testament of the Bible. God says that this is the only way, so if you discredit that you discredit the Bible. I honestly believe that God mourns for each and every soul that dies without knowing him. This is so important, you should read and research it more for yourself and talk to someone at a church.

God loves all people. He wants to be close to them...but he cannot be in the presense of evil....it's like mixing oil and water...this is why he sent Jesus...a perfect man to pay atonement for the world's sin...now, all we have to do to be in the presense of God is accept Jesus and let his blood cover our sins...God does not condemn people to an eternity in hell...they have a choice...they can accept Jesus and repent or they can go on living their lives...but if they do not accept the atonement that is freely offered...there's nothing God can do about that.
God weeps when his children suffer...whether they are believers or not.

I realize you meant this as a trick question, but yes God loves the Saints and Sinners alike. What God hates, is sin itself, and since the sinner still has the sin, God is NOT going to let it enter Heaven. Therefore, the sinner is bound for Hell, but God does not send them there. They send themselves, for not accepting Jesus as their Saviour and repenting of sin. Chiristians, can I get an Amen on this?
