God doesn't send people to hell, people send themselves to hell. God can't send people to hell because he exists very far from the earth. The prime source of all that exists is very far removed from us, and then again hell in the traditional sense doesn't exist. Most things in the bible are metaphors for something, the devil for instance is to do with our weak side, the side that isn't conscious and conscientious but is automatic and reacts to things without deliberating through things. Hell is a metaphor as well for a place where a persons energy goes after they live a life of attachment and falsehood. This energy isn't a soul or spirit, that energy goes somewhere else where it can serve the purpose of our creator. One must work for a soul, it is spoken of in many teachings as long as they are pure and undistorted. Keep to thine works.

If God decided to start sending everyone to Hell, for no reason, than he wouldn't be God. God uses perfect judgment. God is just.

The decision on who to send to Hell today was made at the foundation of the world. God will never send everyone to Hell, as his Kingdom was made for believers. Those who are sent to the furnace have no belief in him, or follow a false prophet, or believe in human bondage, or are idolaters, liars, pedophiles, murderers and every other form of human filth upon the earth. One example of this filth is the murderer and thief O.J.. This man will never be aquitted by God, nor anyone like him.

God was going to destroy a city once and Abraham prayed and asked that if there were 100 good men in the city, would God change His mind? God agreed. Then Abraham asked that if there were 50 good men there, would God not destroy the city? God agreed. Then Abraham asked God if there were 10 good men there, would He spare the city? God agreed. Abraham finally jewed God down to sparing the city if there were only one good person.
I think God is as just as any earthly judge could be. Even more so since He knows all and sees all.

atheists: if you think you can just get away with not being converted because you have the right to a free religion, then do you really think that's a good reason for going to hell basically?
oh and God swept the evil people away in the flood because they were having sex with each other like fifty times a day and it was before marriage and with family members, too, and they were killing each othre like crazy so God does have a reason to sweep the evil people away

God doesn't send people to hell. People send themselves. What you're describing goes directly against the character of God and so it's impossible to answer the question, let alone take it seriously.
John 3:16 - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
If you push him away and die in your sin, then yeah, you're going to hell for good reason. Have fun.

God does not send people to Hell. People choose to go there by their actions.

What, sort of like we send the child rapist who ended up killing the 5 year old girl to jail?
Or do you mean the person who was wrongly convicted of the rape and murder because they "thought" they had evidence?
Fortunately, God is superior to human intelligence and he knows all--if you go to hell--chances are you deserved it. And, I think you really have to do some pretty horrible things to deserve hell.

If He intended to do that, Why would Christ have come into the world? Because God the Father so loved mankind that He sacrificed His only begotten Son so that the world may be save through Jesus.

I'm not going to hell, although I certainly deserve to. Why not repent and accept God's terms of reconciliation?
"Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come! All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God."
