I do keep fighting it, your right. think of me as a researcher trying to solve a complex problem. not "does god exist", but why are there so many f-ing contradictions and you keep believing it?

Sin is of the three: man's will vs. God's will, rebellion against God, and anything contrary to the character of God.

He doesn't make you love Him. He gives you a choice as to whether or not you want to love Him. All you need to do to go to heaven is to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and try to live your life good. God only wants you to love Him with every inch of your heart, mind, and soul because it is good for you. It will help you in life, during the good times and the bad. I hope that you come to realize that God is a loving and forgiving God and not a mean one.

He doesn't make you go to hell. The Bible says that the penalty for sin is death and we have ALL sinned. It is not that He wants you to go to hell, it is that sin can't stay in His presence. Jesus came to cover our sins. God can not sin because He is perfect. Most of all, His love for YOU is perfect. Ask Him to show Himself to you and He definitely will assuming you are really looking for him. When you look at the whole Bible you will see fewer contradictions. It will be replaced by one big theme: God loves you more than you can imagine. Even when you are questioning him. More than you can imagine. Way more.

Your acting just like Satan, why is it that you cannot see the many gifts that God has blessed you with, He gave you life. He offers you a loving relationship with His Son. He died on the cross to give you another chance to escape eternal lonieness. If you only realized how much He loves us. Its your choice whether you want to love God or not. Heaven is an eternal relationship with God but it sounds like you really don't want to go there anyway.

Adam brought sin into the world, thank your great great grandfather for that one. God had made the rule, Adam broke it. He decided to believe Satan instead of God and in so doing gave the dominion over the earth (that God had given to him) to Satan. God sent Christ to pay for our sins so that we do not have to go to Hell. If you see a detour sign in the road and decide to ignore it, who's fault is it when you go over the cliff. if you also happen to take a bunch of friends with you, who is responsible for their deaths as well. My friend, if you do not believe Jesus died on the cross, was resurrected from the dead and through belief in him you have forgiveness of sins, you are headed for a big cliff where you will not die, but live forever in eternal punishment. You may be too smart for the people who put up the sign, but you will pay the ultimate cost.
I had to edit my answer due to the additional thoughts that you have written. If you are honestly seeking the Lord and not just bashing him, you need to polish your research skills. First you must read what you claim to not understand, then you must dig a little to answer your questions. You will find there are no contradictions if you study the word. On the other hand if you are not seeking God, He says in 1 Cor 2:12-14: 12Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Also in Mathew 7:6: 2Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. 13Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. 14But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. And Romans 10:3 : 3For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.

God has reason to be proud. He is the creator we are the creation. We should be humble, and fear Him, like a child should fear a parent for punishment when they do something wrong.

God is not proud. He was satisfied with the work. If it had not pleased Him, He would have done it over until it did.

it is because he is proud of you but if you are proud of something that you think you did or made he gets jealous because he even said he is a jealous god but he gave you the ability to make w/e it is or do w/e it was.

He doesn't make you do anything. He wants you to love Him wholeheartedly. Is it wrong for a parent to want their child to love them more than any other parent? My dad wants me to love him more than any other dad in the world. Is he being sinfully proud by wanting that? I don't think so.
