That's how it is with God's gift of forgiveness. He wants you to accept Jesus' sacrifice on the cross to pay the punishment for your sins to save you and forgive you once and for all, but He's not going to force you to.

No, he just going to send all of us "sinners" to hell for eternity for not being lucky or blind enough to believe in one of many "true" gods. God's "forgiveness" means jack all when the alternative is torture in the basement.
