Why would a loving God create an entire planet full of beautiful, humans only to condemn the majority, forcing them to spend eternity at the wicked hand of Satan?

I'm really struggling to understand how anyone could believe this. If anyone has any insight, or believes in calvinism themselves, would you mind explaining this belief to me? As hard as I'm coming down on this, I feel the conclusions I have drawn are not only implicitly stated by the quote from the main page, but are also obviously arrived at when considering calvinistic views.

Thanks in advance,

I can't answer your questions becasue I don't see the matter the way you do. But I do have some sincere questions of my own.

Why did God allow the Fall of Man?
Why did Jesus, who is God, have to suffer death and humiliation in order for the Redemption of Man?
What will the Second Coming be? (and all the related consequences)

We have an idea of how to answer some of these questions but for the most part we have a very small perspective. God's ways are incomprehnsible.
