If there was a loving God, would you accept him?

Threats are the last, desperate resort of the religious trying to convert people.

Scare tactics only work on the weak minded or those who already believe that nonsense.
We were speaking of a hypothetical case of God being real, and you being aware of its existence.

Then I would rather burn in a hypothetical hell than worship the most evil being in the cosmos. If the Abrahamic god were real and, therefore, as evil as it's documentation give it credit to be, I would suggest that Satan is given bad press and isn't as bad as we are led to believe.

Which to prefer, the lesser or greater of two evils?

Edit: I will grant you that's what I say now. If I were to encounter the situation for real I might change. I honestly don't know, as no one knows how they will react in this situation. I would hope I have the strength of character to stand by my convictions.
