God needs fuel for his fire..............

When you say that God created us, I think where you're mistaken is with the idea of original sin and each person born being a "new Adam" and capable of fellowship with God. Not so. Adam lost that and we carry a federal representation of his sin with us when we are born. We have already earned our "burning in hell" and the Bible does takes a very dim view of man, if you look closely enough. The world needs a Savior.
God has not created us for the purpose of burning in hell. Adam has done this to us, and we stand condemned before the Lord and deserving of this punishment. You are wrong to look at Man as innocent rather than guilty from the start.

God created mankind to obey him, to respect him and to love him. It is a punishment for a sinner to go to hell and be burned to be eaten by the snake who enticed Eve to commit sin

No. God is not sitting and waiting to 'zap' anyone. He does not exist to toss us into the lake of fire. God wants one thing from us, our love.
The fact that many do not know the nature of God is a function of their failure to read the word of God with understanding. This situation has been foretold in the Bible and "many will be deceived" by the antichrist as a result.
However, there is but one unforgivable sin which is specific both in it's nature and predisposing conditions. Given the fact that there is a lot of sin in the world this fact is a glowing example of the covenant of grace, God's long suffering nature when dealing with our shortcomings -- and mercy.

Actually, all of us can burn in Hell.
But you are right, the Bible says that most people will not choose to do God's will and therefore burn in Hell.
God made us with the ability to choose between what God wants (and live with Him for eternity) and what we want. Most people choose to do what they want (and burn in Hell).

Because he never meant for us to go hell in the first place. People put themselves in hell, Not God. When a person rejects God, they reject the payment of their sin jesus died to pay. So the only other form of payment of their sin would be for the person to pay for their own sins, which is Hell. You might not like the answer, but it is what it is

It's simple really....God didn't create us with the intent of sending us to hell. The Scripture plainly states that it's "...not my (God's) will that any should perish...." The majority of us will end up in Hell because we REFUSE to obey and CHOOSE not to believe.

Hell (which isn't a buring place, it is simply separation from God for eternity) was created after people. Everyone has a choice, and Hell is for people who choose their own path.

Most of us choose hell.
We have no time for God.
We have time only for our own wants and pleasures and dont want anyone telling us what to do.
"There are none that seek God."
"For the world by wisdom knew not God."

The concept of this God is the most bloodthirsty monster ever created in the mind of man.

It's not his fault if we burn in hell. He gave us free choice so that we could make the decision of whether we were going to do that to ourselves, or not.
