David, God is the righteous judge. He knows exactly the punishment that is totaly deserved and appropriate. Hell is the just place that fits the condemned for their sins perfectly. In your finite view and mind you do not see things perfectly as God does. Do you think a maggot, cockroach or deadly germ views itself as something disgusting? Do you want them in your food or your house? God is so clean, perfect and holy that if he were to look upon an unregenerated sinner he would see someone utterly disgusting and vile only perfectly fit for one place and that is hell. Only the blood of The Lamb is able to cleanse us. The amazing thing is that God loved us so much (because he knew what we could become if restored back to him through his son) that he bothered to give his perfect, pure, wonderful Son to die for us.

God cannot view us that way because he wants to save us; therefore, we must have worth in his eyes.

Infinite punishment for finite sin is unjust by definition.
