First, I'm not sure you know the meaning of masochistic.
Second, both we and God are eternal beings. One eternal being rejecting another has..guess what...eternal consequences. While you complain that is unjust, what is your reasoning that it is unjust?
It is unjust because, this god only gives us about 70 or so years, with minimal or no evidence, contradictory ancient texts, thousands of competing gods, etc, etc, to figure it out.
Then he has the audacity to claim that it was our choice.
Sorry, but if he wanted a just system for us to choose him, he shouldn't have created one that relies to much on gullibility.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
