But since you mention it, why should an omnipotent god who's claimed to be perfectly merciful use the fear of eternal punishment to compel belief? Couldn't he find a better way to offer us salvation, such as accepting an apology or something? That shit's not so hard for me. Why is it so hard for the Christian god?

I smell a free will argument coming…

... which is belied by the very existence of Hell, and the alleged fact that one's eternal soul is held hostage to compel belief. It ain't free will, unless we also call armed robbery free will.
