It is a common misconception that God created a prison called Hell to which he sends anyone he doesn't like. Hell is not of divine origin, nor does God send people there. Sometimes people sin -- they do things that are outright evil, knowing full well the severity of their acts. But if someone deliberately commits evil -- unrepentingly turning their minds and bodies to the destruction of themselves and others -- they cut themselves off from everything good. Without sorrow or compassion or love, they tear themselves apart with hate. God didn't create Hell; sin is its own Hell.
