Why would a god that created you and loves you send you into eternal fire just for not believing in him? Why is god so threatened by my disbelief that he would force me to experience eternal pain and suffering without any chance of redemption? Only a vindictive and tyrannical god would do such things.
So, what about freewill? Christian’s say that god gave us freewill to believe and do whatever we want. Yet if we don't follow the exact path god set for us we go to hell. How is this freewill? If anything it is the opposite of freewill. So unless god is very confused I don’t see how he can be both loving and caring and still allow for hell to exist.
Or am I missing something here?

What about the people that have never heard of Christianity? Are they instantly condemned to hell never knowing what they did wrong?

yes, many people know he exists through the bible and still hate him and reject him, except those who have never heard of Jesus or read the bible.
​
Circular reasoning, you can't use the bible to prove that the bible is correct. Right now, like it or not, there is no evidence that suggests the existence of god.

the proof is already pretty evident
Really? I guess I didn't get the memo. Perhaps you could point out some of the evidence that proves gods existence.
