Argument from evil, restated

[Undeceived]

So according to your theory, the threat of hell doesn't unduly influence you while you are alive, but after your heart beats the last time, boom! Hell is suddenly too real to allow you to love.

So If I tell a girl on the street to love me or else I will put her in my basement and burn her with matches, she might actually love me, but once I get her down there and strapped down, she's just saying that she loves me to avoid the pain. OK.. Nothing creepy about that..

God is the millionaire who says "love me and I'll give you a car" (heaven). But you have to agree to love him before you get to see the car. Why does the sight of the car or the sight (via death) of the punishment (Hell) matter with the promise (threat)?

Thanks for seeing my point. The girl won't love her kidnapper, and you won't love the millionaire. Likewise, people won't love God even if they are given a second chance or offered a reward. They must see their need for a savior, and humbly ask Him for life. Humbleness is a requirement for heaven. Humbleness cannot be manipulated by human desire.
