Because it starts from illogical premises. If you don't believe me read the bible.
The basic underpinnings for christianity are a minor war god of a pantheon from a weak and semi-barbaric group of tribes at the very outer edges of the first Mesopotamian civilisations who grew into an overpowerful and supremely spoilt toddlerish god and for whom eventually his contemporaries were ditched altogether creating a monotheistic religion. Leaven this out with notions of paradise from Babylon/Persia, strictures and rituals from the mystery cults and a huge dose of scriptural demands from the Roman empire and you get the basis from whence modern christianity eventually evolved.

The abrahamic god most definitely does. Read your bible, it's one of the most repeated refrains from that book, "you must love me or I will damn you to eternal torment, because I am a needy and spiteful god".
