Fruit, you're kind of hinting at the crux of why I just can't buy into Christianity. It's as simple as this and I don't ever see a Christian satisfying this conundrum in my mind enough to make me believe: I cannot fathom a God who exists that is so powerful as to possess the capability to create the entire universe and yet be so needy that if the meaningless little humans don't worship him and acknowledge his existence, despite his having done a poor job of making it obvious in our minds that he does exist, he will send us to eternal torture. That just doesn't add up for me and it's why I think anyone who believes in heaven/hell, God, etc has to be pretty stupid to ignore this point.
