Not only that, but god will not even be man (or god) enough to admit that he is punishing them, preferring to play a childish game of "stop condemning yourself! Stop condemning yourself!"
If you forsake free will and behave like a puppet, you get into heaven, where you must presumably continue to behave like a puppet for the rest of eternity. Because if you exercise the 'gift' of free will in heaven, I can only imagine that god will interpret that as "choosing hell" and send you on your not-so-merry way. And just to rub it in, as you are being dragged away he'll mockingly call out "why are you choosing to leave? Don't you want to be in heaven with us?"
God is really creepy.
When someone accepts Jesus into their hearts, they want to do what he tells them to because they have his goodness in their hearts, and they known it's the right thing.
