First I just want to say that I support all attempts to understand the words found in the Holy Bible. That being said I personally try not to devote too much time to the afterlife. All living beings will die, it just depends what we do with the life we were given. One who sacrifices his life for the protection of others will be martyred in his death as opposed to someone who sacrifices the lives of others for his benefit or to save himself from death.
The Lord God is outside of our understanding, we were never meant to fully understand him,the ways of the heavens..etc. If you live according to the ways of Christ and you go to heaven, that's wonderful. If for some reason you're damned to hell, there's nothing you can do about that. However things work in according to the Lord, is how they work. If he wants you to burn for eternity, then you will burn. All we have is the faith of our master Jesus Christ, and that if we follow him, that his wisdom will save us.
As for hoping that God will "come up with something better" because there are evil people out there, I can't stand by that. You're talking about the source of existence and the universe. It's blasphemy in my opinion to make such demands, as far as i'm concerned the Lord doesn't ever need to lift a finger in regards to humans. We are here, we can handle human matters. We are supposed to call on God to help us through our spiritual wars, our fears, our imperfections, our beastly desires etc. Yes we call on him to help us be merciful towards others, but that is still an inner request...asking that he help us individually become better beings, so we can treat our neighbors better.
If you are faced with one of these truly evil and unrepentant people you were mentioning, then maybe you should try punishing them yourself. I'm not saying to act outside of the law, i'm just saying if you are met with evil don't run to our Lord and insult him by asking that he interfere directly. At the most, ask that he make you more powerful. Praise him at all times, but do everything that you can with your own two hands. The blessings of all the Christian martyrs will be upon you.
