As much as you disagree or believe in the contrary, humor me and let's say that this is the case. If that be so and there is a hope for eternal life by placing your faith in Christ, would you accept that and receive Him? Or, would you defiantly reject this offer?
I think I would prefer to just go on nonchalantly ignoring the whole silly choice until such time as your hypothetical becomes manifest. I really can't conceive of a being as capable as you describe who would be as petty and as obsessed with us as you imagine. Cross that bridge if and when we get there.
A couple things to consider:
- God created, you nor I didn't, He created the rules, He graciously allows us to enjoy existence and His creation
- Who are we to judge Him? As smart as we think we are for any way can possible compare His vast understand vs. ours is absurd.
- Why do you blame God when He created man with a free will to chose his own fate and the results of his own decision. And don't say well if God knew ahead of time yadda yadda yadda. No one can possibly rationalize everything nor understand fully God's Will.
- If God gave you a chance to be forgiven that doesn't cost you anything other than to accept it, wouldn't it be silly to refuse such a gift. The only part of the universe to be in apart from God is the very place you blame God that He will send you to. However, you are choosing it by your pride and stubbornness.
