If it is indeed all-knowing, it knows we would choose to question its existence yet it will not provide evidence of its existence. Therefore, it sends people to hell knowing they will go to hell. That's the definition of evil.
Fortunately neither exist.
God knows who will not choose his love gift in advance, but yet he allows to them to exist because the reason he knows they'll go to hell is because they themselves will end up choosing it in the future.
SO, you concede that your all-knowing deity creates people knowing he's going to torture them forever.
Again, why would such an evil being be worthy of respect, let alone worship?
All your deity needs to do is make an appearance and/or provide testable evidence of its existence. According to the OT people could barely leave their houses without god appearing to them, sending angels or providing signs.
Yet now, as our knowledge advances, it refuses to do such things.
