What you fail to realize is that god is committing extortion for your beliefs.
Would you love god as much if he didn't send people to hell for not believing in him? If the answer is no, then you are afraid of him. If the answer is yes, then what is the purpose of hell beyond punishment and placation of god's ego?
You are trying to avoid what scriptures teach, there is a hell, there's no changing that, it is what it is.
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.
