I don't wish to argue the bible. The words love and justice are not synonymous. Love sees through our faults. Justice balances the universe.

While Christians affirm unequivocally that God is essentially good and loving, it must be emphasized that complementary to these attributes is the characteristic of justice. A loving being that ignored evil or that treated bad acts and good acts equally would not be good. Hence, if God is good, then God is also just - he must treat evil as evil. So, if any creatures merited the existence of hell, then God could remain essentially good and loving by giving them justice, even if that means sending some creatures to hell.
A misconception has to do with how one is "sent" to hell. Often objectors claim that God randomly picks people to be damned as if on a whim. Additionally, they envision that the one sent to hell is absolutely innocent in the matter and had nothing to do with the outcome. On the contrary, Christians have long held that hell is a choice that is made by the one who arrives there.

Love is an easy word to present to the public. Love is a feeling, that can be abused like any other feeling. People love those who abuse them. People love bad food. People love sex. But, true love requires deep understanding, requires a lot of work to develop, and requires an open heart to the problems people have, as well as to their talents. Justice is not a feeling it is a result. My God, is a good and very moral God, thus a just God, who wants everyone to contribute positively to a better world. My God would treat well, anyone who does that, no matter what they believe..
