"How can a God of love send anybody to Hell?"

It doesn't say "prepared for human beings" though does it.

Is it sonship's 'gotcha!' verse? It only mentions [1] "The Devil" and [2] "His Angels". Is it theologically sound to extend this to mean all humans who are not Christians?

No it isn't.

Some of the other Christians here hem and haw and talk about "second deaths", "lakes of fire" and "eternal punishments" saying that these terms mean a permenant, eternal, created, sustained place of volcanic centre of the earth style lakes of fire and brimstone where human beings will be placed, not mearly until they are dead (again), but where god will deliberately sustain their lives not for a period, but for all eternity and where Christ will watch with his angles as their flesh broils and melts.

The concept is beyond disgusting, beyond anything these Islamic terrorists do today, beyond 9/11, beyond beheadings. And what is it for? For a person choosing (if they can) to not believe in a god. Not for murder, not for rape, not for theft, not for anything other than not being a Christian.

Fair, just, balanced, loving and merciful. Sure.

PS it's not true.
