He leaves the choice to you without intervention.
And there's a demonstartion of your ignorance of atheists.
Many WERE faithful believers. Many, I would also suggest, were far more devout than you.
So we come into a vicious circle: All-knowing god creates people it knows it will send to hell, many of whom believe in it. Deity refuses to provide the evidence of its existence, even when asked by those faithful. Faithful give up belief in deity. Deity sends them to hell.
Again, why is this deity worthy of worship.
And don't play the "They weren't real Christians" card. Because that's just ignorant.
He doesn't provide evidence because it would violate free will. And you weren't true Christians because a true Christian would never doubt God. Perhaps you were at one point, but clearly you allowed Satan into your heart.
