Second, you're talking about living eternally in a place where you think only what god wants you to think, and do only what god wants you to do. That is not a happy existence. That's like painting a smile on your face, because the only reason you'd be "happy" is that you're not allowed to feel other emotions. You get rewired the way someone else wants you to be, and that person is a narcissist. For god so loved the world my ass. The god of the bible doesn't know what love is.
No, eternal servitude doesn't appeal to me.
Which prompts the question, "What happened to the free will that this god is alleged to value so highly?"
You have free will enough to choose. After that, you won't need it anymore. Such a strong authoritarian has little use for allowing free will.
