Not to steal Kevin's thunder, but this assumes we have a natural "neutral" destination and that He11 is a "punishment".

A better question is why would a just God make eternal torment the destination for creatures following their natures? Assuming, as the Calvinist does, that the creature can do no other but to sin.

Hell as a punishment for freely chosen disobedience makes sense. As a natural end to human nature as we are born into it, less so.

Our disobedience is freely chosen.
