I've only got one question..
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So how come when "god" sent version 3.0 to the rug merchant sleeping in the cave he didn't correct the misinterpretation but rather doubled down on it?

It is simply if you love him you spend eternity with him if you do not love him you go to the only place where he is not. Perhaps it was a bad analogy. How about one about marriage. Would you want an arranged marriage or one created out of love. He does not force us to love him because that wouldn't actually be him loving us now would it.
Given that your entire religion can be boiled down to "Love him or else" this analogy doesn't fit either.

Every time someone tries to defend god along these lines, he sounds like a really stereotypical mob boss.
"Now, Don Salvatore isn't forcing you to make the shipment. You can do what you want. Just be aware that there will be grave consequences for you if you don't make the shipment, capisce? Have a nice dinner."
Replace "Don Salvatore" with "god" and "shipment" with "love" and you have this new wave brand of Christianity that tries to look nice and legitimate on the surface.

Um, ok. Have fun with Figi, wherever the hell that is.
Isn't that a holiday pudding of some kind?

Q: If God is a God of love, why would he create humans knowing the mass majority would end up in hell?
A: God is indeed a God of love. He loves all of his creations yet holds humanity among his favourite and loves them more than the others. First and foremost he created us with the gift of freewill. He gave us a perfect earth with no death or sickness. It was all just sex, good food, beautiful views, and tame animals. God had a very personal relationship with Adam and Eve. He didn’t force them into loving him back. He gave them an escape button. They took it. He is always chasing after our hearts and only wants us to chase after his heart. His love is not forced and he gives us an option. Think of it as you have 5 children. Three of them will end up addicted to drugs and being thrown into prison for stealing and murder. The other two will solve world hunger, cure cancer, and lead the nations with strong morality. You have a choice to kill them all or raise them all. God chooses to raise them all up with the same amount of love and chances to love him back. Only two choose to love him back and let him pure his knowledge and supernatural love into and the other two rejected him yet he was still with them even if they couldn’t see.
I want to know how anyone can believe for one second the laughably idiotic myths that are the Abrahamic religions. I cannot put myself in the mind set of believers never having believed myself.
You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.
