if god hates the sin and not the sinner then...?
Why doesn't he throw the sin to hell, and not the person. And also, why do some people say "you send yourself to hell" why can't God just accept we aren't perfect. And understand that.

please see 2nd Peter 3:7-11 where it says God is long suffering, not willing that any perish, but that all will come to repentance and inherit eternal life. You are accussing Him of wanting to toss people in hell, when it is the last thing He wishes to do.

God cannot punish the sin because sin is an act of rebellion against God. God can only punish those who do the sin because they desire the sin. God is a just God. God must uphold the law that He has created because it is perfect since it is based on His personality. Anyone who sins and rejects Christ is saying they do not want God. Therefore, they will not get any characteristics of God. The place they go to is Hell because it is a place where one feels no characteristics of God. The people who love God and accept Him will go to Heaven because all the characteristics of God are found there.

Human being were/are not perfect, that is why GOD send all HIS Mesengers together with all HIS Holy Books to preach among all mankind to all lands and in all ages, to turn them to be perfect human,but majority of them turn away and give blind eyes to all of these Messengers ,especially, HIS last Messenger, Prophet Muhammad and his last Holy Book Al-Quran. Then who is to blame.
GOD love the sinner or the best of the sinner, means ,those sinners who commit sins and knew it that it was sin, then ask for forgiveness of sin from GOD and the worse sinner is the one who commit sin and never think that he commit sin ,then he will never be able to ask for forgiveness and would die in committing that sin.

He threw the sin on Jesus. All sin was on Jesus so that during the crucifiction Jesus actually became Sin personified. Jesus suffered the punishment and God knew the human race could not ever be perfect and that we were sinful, so God gave us the solution - the Savior Jesus. But even though Jesus died and took upon himself our sins, this free offer of grace has to be appropriated by faith in Jesus. We have to turn to Jesus, and when we turn to Jesus we automatically turn away from Satan and sin. When we turn to him he comes to live and dwell inside our spirits. There is no way a Christian can go to hell, because within him is Almighty God dwelling. On the day that our earthly bodies die, the Holy Spirit within us takes us safely into the arms of God, in Heaven. This is why the Bible says in Ephesians 1:13-14 -- In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance...."
God is Perfect, Holy, Righteous & Just. Sin requires a penalty. Every sin requires a just punishment. We commit sin when we willingly ignore what we know is right, and instead do what is wrong. We will never be perfect in this life, but God definitely does know we're not perfect. So the just punishment that we deserve He put on his Son Jesus. Now if we still ignore and reject this great act of Divine Love, there is no other sacrifice for us but we'll have to suffer for our own sins in the next life! God made the way and everybody has a chance - even if they never hear the Gospel. In many far off countries throughout history, where the Gospel never was preached, God's Holy Spirit was there nevertheless, speaking to the person's heart. People are born with the knowledge of right and wrong. Animals do not have this and cannot sin. (By the way I am convinced God even redeems animals, as they cannot sin) To those who do the best they can to follow Righteousness, as the scripture says "He who hungers and thirsts for Righteousness shall be filled". God is not unjust. Babies and little children who never come to the age of knowledge of good and evil are covered by the blood of Jesus. Hey, God is a good God. He really is! He loves all people. But we are responsible to choose Righteousness -- to choose Jesus. And we are responsible for the knowledge given to us. To those who hear the Gospel and reject it, they are the ones walking into torment and walking away from the free offer of God's loving Grace.
And even after we accept Jesus, we can't be perfect, but the Bible gives us the solution when we sin: "If we confess our sins He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness" 1John 1:9 I suggest you read your Bible every night to get the sense of knowing God. You will see that he loves you and the whole world.

With all the times I have answered similar questions, I see SOME one has been paying attention!
Congratulations, you hit the nail on the head.
God throws the sins into hell. I've been saying that very thing for a long, LONG time!
The problem is, as Jesus pointed out, that "who ever commits sin is a slave to sin", so if you hold on to those sins in THIS life, then those very SAME sins will hold on to YOU in the NEXT life, and when God DOES throw those sins into hell, they (i.e. YOUR sins) will drag you, kicking and screaming, into hell with them.
God is begging you to let Him set you free from those sins that would otherwise drag you to hell with them!
He cries out (it's recorded in the Bible) PLEASE choose Life (Jesus said "I am Life"), so that you may live!
He said He doesn't want ANY one to perish, but that ALL would turn to Him and repent (get rid of those sins).
But God-haters love their sins, and they refuse to let them go, as Jesus pointed out.
God doesn't want you in hell; He wants to rescue you from those sins, set you free, and give you NEW life.
But He won't go against your will. If you choose to push God away, as much as it saddens Him, He will allow you to do that; but then, after you die, your sins are still with you.
God votes for you to go to heaven, but it must be unanimous. You must also vote in favor of heaven, but that means asking (and allowing) God to set you free from Sin (that is, you repent of - turn your back on - your sins and leave them behind.)
So, the REAL question is, do you love your sins and immorality so much that you're willing to spend eternity in hell with those very sins? Or are you willing to QUIT sinning (as God pours out grace, mercy and compassion on you)? Will you allow God to separate you from your sins? Or will you choose Sin over God? This, in its various forms, is the BIG question you need to resolve, because your sins will go to hell; the only question is, will they drag you to hell with them? Or will you turn to God to set you free from those sins?

I think God does accept that we're not perfect. I also believe that God is loving and forgiving. Which is why I also don't think God would allow any of God's children to suffer for all of eternity...

"What more do you want him to do?"
Well, for starters, not torture people for eternity just because they didn't believe he existed.
