You can choose the being of all good, God, or the being of all evil, Satan. The choice is up to the person. But God has no gun to your head, and his gift is wonderful.False dichotomy. I could, and have, chosen neither.
Do you understand metaphor, JL1? Because it seems as if you don't. No, god doesn't literally have a gun to anyone's head, but it's implied. Saying I am free to choose, but then saying that there are consequences if I choose the wrong thing is the height of stupidity. It is just like someone asking you a question with a gun to your head.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
