I thought God really loved us
How could a loving God send any one of his precious creatures to such a terrible place? Because, not everyone is willing to admit their sinfulness and receive the pardon of what Christ did when he died on the cross. Jesus paid the penalty and he's put the ball in our court---it's up to us now. But, he will not force us. Remember, true love offers the freedom to choose. In one sense, hell is simply a place for people to be who don't want to be with God. C.S Lewis said that the door to hell is locked from the inside and that there're basically two kinds of people. People who say to God, "Your will be done O God," and people to whom God says, sadly, "Your will be done O man, have it your way then."
