“...whether a loving God would send people to a place of eternal suffering.”

Not much of a theologian if that is the starting premise. Scripture teaches that God gave us a choice and encourages us, reminds us, strongly calls us to choose life. God does not “send” someone, they choose to separate themselves from God and all that is good.

Alvin Plantinga could and has answered that question very well

I prefer a more dark approach.

It isn’t how can God send anyone to Hell. The question is how can he not confine all of us there and how could it possibly burn hot enough?

That said, nothing would please me more than to find that hell was populated with only the devils and his demons.
