Ridculous for him to then send them to hell if you ask me.He knows what I am going to do but its still me doing it. If you choose to treat God as something unworthy (even to the point of not acknowleding His existance) all the days of your life then you will be despised when you cross over.
If there was a god, I think it's ridiculous to assume your view of him is correct, a new level of arrogance to assume his greatest concern is his own glory...If I was all powerful, eternal and all knowing I think a bit of humility might also be able to be achieved.
Is this humble enough for you?
Another thing is His own glory just happens to be the best possible thing for those that love Him. Whats the greatest thing God can give you? It is Himself, marvelous revelation after revelation of Himself. And thats what Heaven is all about and thats why most people wouldnt want to go there in the first place. Think about it. If heaven is all about worshiping and glorying in God and your not doing that now why would you want to after your dead? I submit to you that Hell is locked from the inside.
