It isn't worth having in my opinion if I have to conform to a specific set of ideals that I honestly do not have the ability to believe, just in order to avoid burning in hell for eternity.
Why did god give me free will if he knew I was going to end up going to hell anyway, i would rather have never existed than go to Hell, So why did god do me this terrible disfavor of creating me? He is all knowing right? So of course he knew i was destined to be an atheist and destined to be in Hell.

firered, " He wants people to worship Him because they choose too"
I'm saying as an atheist it isn't going to happen, I do not have the capacity to believe god exists, and your god knows this.

God would rather have people serve him willingly than to make people serve him.

Why would he want a robotic society. Robot worship is so cold and unloving. He wants our love and devotion because we believe He is our Father in Heaven.
He also knows you are asking questions and maybe someone more worthy than I will say the right thing that will make you want to open a bible, pray or accept Him.
You say you are an atheist. An atheist is one who denies the existence of a deity or of divine beings.
Yet you are acknowledging the existence of Heaven and Hell. The book on you is not closed.

God is not demanding. He wants people to worship Him because they choose too, not because they have to...You are not destined to be in hell. God wants everyone to go to heaven when they die...He does not put someone on Earth just so they can rot in hell.
It is your decision and mind set to be an atheist. That is your free will...There have been atheists in the past, I'm sure, that have been saved....

When did GOD say that if you use your "Free Will" you will go to Hell? He has given you the "Free Will" and it is upto you to use it."Yay pi anya Devathaa Bhakthaaha-Thay pi mam eva Kountheya"=O! the son of Kunthi!!-Arjuna-by whichever way and by whichever name -using their "Free Will" people call me and and in whatever way they pray me, they are my devotees only-Saankya says even if they do NOT worship/or Pray Him(Atheists)-- GOD will be benevolent to them--that is the kind of Freedom-"Free Will" Vedic Religion(Misnomer:-Hinduism) offers you.

More importantly, why blame God for choices he's allowed you to make? It's like people who wish their earthly parent had never had them. What's done is done. And besides, what do you care how someone you don't believe in looks at your behavior?
