You definitely should discipline your kids. You should discipline criminals. But the manner in which you do it should be in proportion to the crime. That would be just.
Hell is unjust punishment because it is too severe.

Therefore God is unjust.

I think I answered another question of yours like this, but...
They define "just" "moral" and "fair" as attributes of God's nature, therefore, he could (by definition) never be unjust, immoral, unfair.
Like the answerers above prove , if it appears God is doing something wrong, it is obviously just a problem of our limited perspective.
It's like saying "Everything in the universe is orange. If ever you see something doesn't look orange, assume you're color blind."

If there were a god, and I were to emulate it's actions, would my children not believe in my abilities, not love me and leave my household, I would have to damn them, smite them, slay them and burn them. I would not need an introspective look to see if I had done anything wrong, or if I even was what I openly proclaimed to be.
But, there isn't. And I'm not.
Which makes the ludicrous punishment in a fantasy land just another obvious page in the fiction novel.

The idea of a loving God sending people to hell for eternity is not easy to accept. Why would God, who is full of mercy and grace, send people to a place of torment for ever and ever for not trusting in Jesus even though they are nice people, or never heard of Jesus, or were sincerely trying to find God? Is that fair? Is that right?
When people ask these questions, they are appealing to what they perceive as fairness. They are looking at the issue from their human perspective. But this perspective is not necessarily the right one. If God exists, and He does, then it is He who is the One who says what is right and fair, not us. So, we need to see what the Bible says about what is right regarding sin and salvation and make a decision afterwards.

Meatbot, Christians do not expect their God to abide by any kind of moral code. They apparently feel that he has given us a moral code to live by, but they do not expect him to abide by it. This is what separates you and I from Christians. Everyday they tell me that my 3 year old son and 1 year old daughter were born evil and deserve to burn in hell, but God is so merciful, he has given them a chance to avoid this punishment. I disagree. I think that they were born perfect, but they will become flawed as they encounter the world. We have to do something to end Christianity. It is sickening.

Heck no! i became into seeing something at the instant and it incredibly pissed me off, sometimes human beings get lesser quotes. UHGG! It angers me plenty. Celebrities continuously get below what they could desire to, Chris Brown could are turning out to be to be some reformatory time alongside with community service, they could desire to have made an occasion out of him.

God's not unjust, you just don't want salvation.
It's not that hard, accept Jesus, and you're saved but you don't WANT TO, you WANT to deny him and you still want God to save you.
How fair is that of you? God offers a way out and you decide not to take it, and THEN you talk about how unjust God is to you.
You sound like a little kid.
I love how I get thumbs down for stating the obvious.

I agree. Eternal punishment is too long for any crime.

You think hell is unjust but you don't realize the holiness of God and the sinfulness of mankind.
The two can not coexist together.

According to Buddhism, hell realms are "punishment" because the untrained, non-virtuous mind takes rebirth in one if it's their karma... severity is their own "issue".
