Why are we here?

[KevinM1]

Any god that would punish me for not worshiping it isn't one that anyone should worship.

You are missing the point. YOU decided not to mend the relationship that YOUR sin damaged. You cannot be in the presence of God (heaven) without mending that relationship. This is the consequence of your free will--God cannot mend it for you--it MUST be your choice.

No, no, I get your point.  It's just the same drivel all Christians write.  Here, I'll make it clear for you:

Any god that would punish someone with an eternity of pain and torture for a finite crime is a tyrant.  Any god that would demand belief over everything else, especially when they provide absolutely 0 credible, verifiable evidence for its existence, and therefore considers unbelief to be among the worst sins, is a psychopath.  Neither trait engenders the desire to join its flock.

Really, the "repent now!" stuff is incredibly childish.  It's the religious version of "do you want me to tell your father when he gets home?"  I'm not six years old any more.  Your vague threats of eternal damnation or else only serve to solidify the idea that your god is something I'd much rather work against than with/for.
