The topic is: Why would God create Hell in the first place?
This was answered in Re: Rand? Are you still here? (Message 102)
I don't see anything in that message that remotely addresses the issue of
why God would create Hell. "Hell was created for the devil and his angels" doesn't explain
why it was created. "People make their own choice to go there" doesn't explain
why it was created.
It's an irresponsible parent who creates an attracive nuisance for his children. Knowing that they play around the swings and the sandbox, he would reasonably conclude that the tiger trap would be a danger to them. Knowing their curious nature, he would reasonable conclude that warning signs wouldn't keep them away from it. Regardless of how serious the tiger problem might be, no reasonable, responsible parent would solve it in that way - by putting putting his children in more danger instead of less.
The answer to "Why Would a Loving God Create Hell?" is "He wouldn't."
