God is not for everyone. God did what He did so he could have His Children make a choice to come home. "we" according to Christ are not all God's children. Jesus in a parable likened God's children as a crop of wheat he had sown in a field and that night his enemy went behind him and sown "Tares." which looks exactly like wheat until it ripens and instead of a golden brown head of wheat the tare yield a black head of seeds that are not edible.
So in the same field/planet we have wheat/God's seed and weeds/seed of satan growing and working together. Jesus said wait to the harvest before these two are seperated. the harvest being after the end of days/final judgement.
For those who love God the answer is clear in that we must seek the atonement offered so we can be with God forever.
Those who hate God/serve a different master will not see the opportunity God has provided.
As an aside, I wonder how many different metaphors and similes the Bible used to express essentially the same idea: "Our team good; others bad".
