God didn't actually create this proverbial hell though, we did.I just don't see why under any circumstances a loving god would let his creations go through some of the things people do.
In my mind no one should have to go through hell on earth or the hell god created.
Let me explain. First of all, God created the perfect world with us in it. We sinned and at that moment death and disease entered the world - that is, if you are talking about God as Christians believe. For the purposes of your questions here, I think you are, so lets assess and understand him on Christian terms.
Often Christians refer to God as Our Father, I'm sure you are aware. We are in a very similar relationship to Him as a child is to it's parent. Often, you will see a child distressed, and often a parent will come to it's aid. Yet in some situations, the parent will deem the child will benefit from this distress, perhaps, lets say, in an argument with a friend. If the parent continually steps in and prevents such arguments, and the consequences or fallout of them, the child will learn nothing, and come maturity the child will be in a much worse state because of that. He won't know what to keep silent, when to talk, how to behave and so on, because all his life he had his parents cleaning up his mess.
In a very similar fashion, so will God not interfere in our lives if He knows such an interaction could have the same result. God is not there to take care of us, and to babysit us. We are fully formed beings capable of amazing things, and it is on our shoulders that we reap both the rewards and the punishment for our decisions.
I hope that helps.
