There certainly are lower realms in the spirit world for everything must find it's mark, but there is no eternal damnation. That was an invention of the church to terrify the ignorant, superstitious masses into submission.

God is love, so they say and then they chip in about eternal damnation! Hold on a moment... What sort of being would God be if that were true?

God IS love, that bit is true. As for the rest, we are all subject to spiritual Law, which is a self-regulating law. We have free will, to work good or evil.
If someone chooses the latter, then they will have to take the consequences. Consequences which they have brought on themselves. Nobody else is to blame, no vengeful God is involved! Cause and effect...
