Save some time. You tell me the answer that you got from Him on this subject.
I did. It's even wrote down where everyone can read it.
"I wasn't the one who made the rules" is the standard whining response when the manifest unfairness (to the point of extreme evil if the purported punishments and rewards are true) of the "Rules" are pointed out.
Again, Romans I deals with it; you scream about it being unfair all day, but there it is. I find it interesting, though, that you've decided to judge whether it's fair or not. You seem to be saying that you know better than God who ought to be in heaven or not.
Clearly you've read it, though, so I'm probably not going to say anymore about it. At this point you've taken the time to read the text and you are going to make your own decision about it. My only goal was to get you to consider it, which you have. Everyone has to pick their side at some point.

I'm not. I don't even believe in God, but if I did believe in one I'd prefer to be worshipping Him for some reason other than fear of the consequences of failing to worship Him. I'd prefer any God I believed in to have higher moral standards than that.

I've read it, and it appears to be largely incomprehensible rather poorly written nonsense. Such sense as I can extract from it appears to amount to a blanket assertion that if anyone doesn't acknowledge God it is their own fault, regardless of their cultural background. And there appears to be a bizarre conflation of rejection of Christianity with unsavoury sexual practices for which no evidence is offered up.
