What kind of God do you worship that would require ...

Whoa, hold it spanky. God requires you to choose between the two and then holds you to your choice. You have options - the choice is YOURS. God cannot remove from you your right to decide for yourself. He set the conditions and gave you a choice. To do anything but precisely what he said he would violates his nature and your rights. He will do neither. So if you go to hell, you paddle your own boat spanky. Don't try to torture it into some nasty thing that God is forcing you into. If you don't like it, you can play the ad-hominem game and console yourself all you wish. Hell will be the absence of God - just as you seem to be seeking here. In absence of God and his morality, the ten commandments do not apply - neither do any of the natural law we recognize today which was drawn from it. All the evil man is capable of will be present in hell. Justice and mercy are in Heaven. It's your choice. If you want the evil ways of men - go to hell - literally. Evil includes murder, lying, deceit, slavery, genocide, etc and so on. You get the picture. It's not a fun place. And he warns in advance that he will be throwing hell into a pit of fire. If knowing that, you make the choice to go there, it was your choice, not God's. So, don't handwring to me. Scripture gives you all the conditions and the warnings. What you do and where you go is according to your free will. You would violate mine by shoving evolution down my throat and reviling me for rejecting it. God let's you condemn yourself. He's far more just than either of us on that one.

Now if you have read God hardened Pharaoh's heart and took from him his first born son, where was Pharaoh's 'free' choice.

You really want to claim that Pharaoh made the wrong choice and thus he will burn forever, sorry won't fly.

You think that Esau who while still in the womb it was said that Jacob I love and Esau I hated and that Esau made the wrong choice has been given the jumping and screaming upon a never ending hell fire sentence. Won't fly.

God Himself said that for their own protection some are blinded. God also says He sends strong delusions to those who choose to believe a lie. Where is their free choice.

Many are called but few are chosen.

You are in for a big disappointment when you discover your looked for joy and glee to watch all those you have decided that are going to burn forever do not.
