If there is a god and he loves all his children?

Ok before you say anything, i just want a simple answer to the question. No telling me to convert to this or that, or saying that i should do this, i dont want any of your lies being forced on me.

If there is a god, and he loves all his children unconditionally, then why is there a hell?

Its kind of like the phrase: The following statement is true, the previous statement is false. If he loves us all, then why would he send people to such a bad place? Wouldn't that mean that hell doesn't exist, that its some old wives tale?

Update:

by lies i mean the outrageous ones such as: because if it aint in the bible then thou shalt burn in hell for eternity for no good reason other than we said so.

Update 2:

like that salvation guy right there!

blatant lies! love has a messed up eye sight, and anything is possible!

    Are you claiming to be one of God's children? I mean, if you are making that claim, it does carry certain responsibilities. Hell is for those who are not God's children.

    God never bothers who believe Him. God cannot watch each and every human being at the same time. That's why He had created the spirits to watch, guide and determine the destiny of the human beings from their daily activities, talks and thoughts too. God has given freewill to all creatures including human beings. According to this, a human being has all right to live a life as he wishes. But if it happens to be bad, he has to face the consequences. It's natural. After death no one lives in any form. Heaven and hell are only for spirits. A human being is not a single spirit. A human being is just a robot made of different materials (flesh, bones, tissues etc.,) and toy of the spirits for their games.

    Because God loves the smell of burning people who got an infinite punishment for finite crimes in the morning?

    I can't think of any other reason why an almighty god who loves his humans would do such a thing.

    to punish the wicked and evil

    love doesn't mean you over look the wicked and evil and ignore it

    no it means hell does exist

    no one who loves some one over looks the evil they do

    love is just not blind

    "I don't want any of your lies being forced on me"

    Okay... then why'd you ask the question if you think the answer will be a lie?
