If we don’t accept his love, he doesn't withhold it, we are just in denial of it. Of course, this has no relevance on people of religions other than yours, because religion is about a concept of God not actually God. You can still reject the love described by one concept of God and still be accepting of God's love. Those who don’t accept the love of God (not concept of God), are doomed to an eternity without it."
Let me use your words, and add a few of mine, to demonstrate how our views differ:
"the imaginary Christian god loves us unconditionally. If we don’t accept his imaginary love, he doesn't withhold it, we are just in denial of the fantasy. Of course, this has no relevance on people of other imaginary religions, because religion is about an imagined concept of God not actually God. You can still reject the imaginary love described by one imaginary concept of God and still be accepting of God's love. Those who don’t accept the imagined love of God (not imagined concept of God), are doomed to an imaginary eternity without it."
