I'm just curious what kind of answers I'll get, I'm not trying to prove anything here. Don't answer if you think this is too hypothetical to give an answer to.

Yes I would, and I would also flood the world every couple hundred years for the hell of it.

Of course not, God is love, that is why he gave his life for you, and I so that we may reap eternal life. Even the father couldnot be one with his son while he was being crucified
It hurt the son, so if the very father in heaven who is holy (and so is jesus ) but for that time he could not be near sin. That is why Jesus who was spirit became flesh to put the flesh to death. So that we could live eternal life. When Lucifer tried sat on Gods throne and tried to be like the most High,he was thrown out of heaven. Hell was created for satan and the third of angels who followed him. Everything that jesus had to do he did. He said it's finished. We make the choice where we go, by the life style we live on earth. If we would draw closer to God we wouldnot think he was demanding,but understand that he wants all to be saved. we all have a chance to fix or correct our livesand if we live for him, enjoy the process while we await his return.

First, God does not send anyone to hell, so the hypothesis is moot. In fact, scripture shows clearly that it is not God's will at all.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that ANY should perish but that ALL should come to repentance.
But God will not interrupt any man's free will to choose. We go there because we choose not to be with Him. If you do not want God, He will send you where none of His light or love exists. Jesus describes this as a place of eternal torment and outer darkness.
God has provided a free ticket out of outer darkness. If you refuse it, who will be there to blame?

No. I would start a reincarnation program for those people to give them another chance. I would give them as many chances as they needed.
I like KAL's response, too. That us super nice.
But I really do think that GOD is more merciful and more gentle than us humans. That is why I don't believe the traditional Christian viewpoint of Heaven and Hell.

I didn't know that God demanded anything from us.
It's entirely up to us if we accept him or not.
He doesn't make any demands.
But if we do accept him then we need to live our lives as his children and live according to his word.
Only people who reject him live like they don't know him because they want to disobey and live in sin.
But those of us who accept him and love him possess the very nature of God.
Demands have nothing to do with it.
All he wants for us is to Love him with all our heart and to love each other.
And if I were God that's what I would want too.

A loving merciful God has no demands and just asks if we will walk in his son's atonement of shed blood to be forgiven daily of all our sins and to at least try to walk better in him and to rest in that

Not exactly.
If I were God, I would invite everyone I created to be my friend. I would want all of them to live a happy life on earth and then, when that life ends, I would invite them to spend eternity living with me in my house. As the owner of that house, I would want to be able to assure everyone that they would be safe and happy and fulfilled in my home; that my home would be a paradise. To ensure the safety and happiness of everyone, I would need to create a set of rules that allow everyone to live in peace and harmony within the walls of my house. I would need to make sure that the people I allowed to move in had the ability to understand and live by those rules.
Having done all that, if I was God, I would also be willing to let people who don't want to accept my invitation or are unwilling (or unable) to live by my rules to choose to live elsewhere.

I'm Christian and my answer is NO, but it would also depend on the demand. Even God changes his mind. Moses talked Him into changing His mind on a couple of occasions.

Rebellious and sinful people make their own hell, wherever they might be.
People who don't care enough about God to even try to obey him have no place in heaven, because if they were there, heaven would no longer be like heaven.
If you were God, what would you do with them?

No never. I don't believe the God is as described in the Bible anyway. It has been corrupted. I believe in a loving and forgiving God. I think we all go to heaven and that there are different levels. I think we continue to learn there and progress, all of us.
