As one who believes in both heaven and hell (I am of The Church of Jesus Christ of Later-Day Saints - Mormon or LDS), I believe that God, being a supreme being and a loving Heavenly Father, does all he does for our benefit, knowing all that is best for us (even when we don't see the whole picture) and everything will work our perfectly in the end because He is constantly vigilant. Everything will work out. And God does NOT send anyone to Hell if they happen to fall short. God forgives EVERYONE who will repent and come to him. AND everyone who does fall short and refuses to come to him will not want to spend eternity with him in the next life anyway. Very few people will go to Hell. God wants ALL of his children to be with him for eternity and will do EVERYTHING in his power to guide them there even if it means helping them believe after they die. There is ALWAYS hope. Life is a time to prepare to meat God. Those who leave this life unprepared will not want to. We prepare by developing our faith by doing our best to keep his commandments and being decent people (even though we know that we will fail to be perfect by far). And Hell isn't a punishment. Hell is just "someone not getting the reward of being prepared". And those who are not prepared would rather burn than stand in the presence of God. Its really an act of mercy on his part.
