Like I said you need to study the scriptures and you would find out how far off you are from the truth.
God did create hell, first for Satan and the fallen angels, then when man (Adam) sinned, man with unforgiven sin will join them in the eternal punishment. The way of man seems right unto man, and the way of God seems wrong. There is a flaw in that kind of thinking, man has a fallible mind and God is omniscient.
Have you asked God to forgive you through Jesus Christ, no, then you really do not desire the forgiveness. When one understands the terribleness of sin against God one desires forgiveness of that sin and in honor of God's forgiveness one desires to worship Him, salvation is the beginning of a relationship. A truly loving God doesn't let people off the hook, He helps them to realize the consequences of their wrong actions, if they will listen.

You have nothing to worry about when it comes to worshiping God for eternity, hell is reserved for those who do not wish to do so. Now you only have to worry about what hell will be like.

I wouldn't be proud of posting this if I were you.
The truth is the truth and pride has nothing to do with it being posted.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
