True, however if you like me has gotten to know the character of Yahweh/Jesus in the Bible. You come to the conclusion that Yahweh/Jesus (I am convinced they are one and the same) is enough of a sadistic prick to inflict eternal punishment (including babies and possibly foetuses) on people. However the sort of god a lot of Christians believe in would do inflict eternal punishment, temporary punishment or simply annihilation yes, eternal no. Because such an entity knows that one can only commit a finite number of sins in their lifetime.

People can only commit a certain number of sins before they die, however those sins are eternal unless they have been forgiven, thus eternal punishment (not torture) for eternal sins.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
