To paraphrase, your god says "love him or he will rip your heart out and cast you into a lake of fire". Not much of a choice there.
And now for something completely different!
Let us create a real unpredictable choice.
I have two envelopes each of which contains a twenty dollar bill. You can pick the left one or the right one. You cannot pick both. As there is no adverse effect to either choice, the only way to predict the choice would be knowledge of some series of events that would reveal the answer before the choice is made, i.e., determinism.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.
