God creates us with a free will. God is omniscient. He knows before we are created by Him how we will exercise our 'free will'. Therefore He knows which of us will reject Him and, by this standard, be condemned to an eternity of suffering. Why would a loving, omniscient God create a soul that He knows before its creation will, after a cosmic blink-of-the-eye called life, be consigned to hell?

Odder still, is that we are, apparently, his second attempt at creating organisms that have the sole purpose of worshiping him (the first attempt ended in a war-- in heaven, of all places-- and the banishment of a third of the citizens of that created society). You would think he would have learned his lesson, but he did the same exact thing again with the exact same result-- betrayal by his subjects. God gets an "F" in creation, unless he's graded on a curve or something.

Or unless there is more to the picture than a hairless biped who struggles to figure out the relationship of gravitation to matter can figure out.

Oh my god...I never, ever thought about it like that. What an interesting way to look at this whole subject. Super!
