You're soo right, he's not forcing us to obey him at all. He's totally giving us the merciful choice of burning forever instead, how could I have not of seen that before, silly me(blatant sarcasm.) He's a tyrant and you fear him, just admit it.

How could you enjoy this life knowing you're going to be stuck in so-called heaven obeying a ruthless tyrant and that if & when you don't then you'll be sent to hell? Life is much more meaningful & optimistic considering that possibility may not even be a reality. It's unmotivating & depressing to think otherwise. Besides, motivation is internal, not external meaning it comes from you, not god or anybody else.
