sinners must, eternally, suffer in hell.
Yes, I agree with you. I don't believe in God but it's question a very interesting and it again proves that God don't exists.If God is all-loving, He would not have created hell — Empedocles
I can name an absence of many things which would result in our imminent suffering. Let's start with the basics, how long could you go without food or water before you begin to suffer? How long could you go without sleep before beginning to suffer? How long could you go without human interaction before you end up suffering from insanity?It's hard to imagine how an absence of something could produce something with a presence like that of suffering. — TheHedoMinimalist
Essentially what I'm trying to say is, yes, God could give us a love potion effectively giving us no choice in the matter, and we'd never be the wiser.

You seem to be implying that God creates a possibility for suffering to satisfy his own interest in having genuine rather than fake love from people. That is not something a all-benevolent God would do, in my opinion(although it could be justified if the benefit for God outweighs the harm to people done). — TheHedoMinimalist
If I didn't need to eat then the absence of food wouldn't cause any suffering. — TheHedoMinimalist
