What does the hell doctrine say about the character of God?

[Taken]

Who created hell?
And for what purpose?

God created Hell

A place for those who did not want to BE With God In The Place He created For Himself and the Angels and humans that WANT to be WITH God.

Are you criticizing God for Not creating some place of Beauty for His creations that stand Against Him?

Although the church has used fear tactics to control those people.

Not one I know either. To just say, "the church uses fear . . .", he's not in reality describing "the church", but perhaps this church, or that church, or maybe just one of his own imagination.

So he defines the church falsely, and then wants us to respond according to his definition.
