I suppose you think this god of yours is also a "god of love," don't you? What you don't realize is that saying "love God or face eternal hell" is like an abuser holding a gun to a woman's head and saying, "Marry me or I'll kill you." Either way you don't go into that relationship willingly and with honest love and devotion. It's all about fear. So why would I want to worship a being I have to be afraid of?
This, aside from the fact that it doesn't prove a god's existence, is why Pascal's Wager fails. Because even if it were valid, you're still worshiping a monster.
Il back up @DoubtingThomas and add the fact that if God is as he is protrayed in the Bible. How do you know eternity in heaven is a better alternative. Simply put you become a literal 'Slave' so in heaven there will be no - Friends / Family / Happy Clubs / Hang Outs just worship God day and night for eternity.
And considering what happened to Satan how do you know that if you step of out line once that God wont cast you to eternity in hell?
See Understand that God as portrayed in the bible doesn't really make up his mind and is quite clueless in many parts. The fact God regretted his own creation in Genesis is proof that God obviously cannot know the future otherwise why would he regret it?
