"Choose"? Surely you accept that people can be sincere and intellectually honest in their disagreement with you and in not believing the same things as you just so happen to believe? How is being tortured for eternity even remotely fair or just as a "punishment"? Where is the moral coherence to it? What notion of fairness and justice can humans draw, emulate and apply from such a far-fetched and depraved notion as the one you propagate?
What a croc of utter mind robbing BULLSHYTE.
A deity would know full well (if indeed there was such an entity) that it could just wait out bad people who, being ephemeral, would soon be dead and gone. No need for any such protracted 'punishment'.
It easy to see how people would be duped by this level of scam. THEY think a deity would put them on such a pedestal that requires such punishment.
The truth is, such a deity could care less about the comings and goings of mankind.
It has bigger fish to fry. We are too insignificant to be granted that kind of attention of a deity.
And of course, there will be the obligatory storm of biblical verses to counter such a despicable attitude, and of course someone will play the 'so now you think you know the mind of god' card.
So which will it be, theists? Card or verse?
