Why do atheists not love a G-d that does not stop punishing them harder and harder in this world and the next until they surrender to Him?

It’s like saying, “Hey, I’m going to keep hitting you with this stick until you love me!” Yeah, that’s not love… that’s a hostage situation! And let’s not even get started on the part where this God is supposedly so loving and merciful that He’ll keep roasting you in the afterlife for not loving Him back. Talk about a toxic relationship! It’s like God’s got the world's worst PR team: “Love me, or else... forever.”
So, no, atheists don’t love a God who’s all about eternal punishment because they’d rather live in a world where love doesn’t come with threats. Besides, they’re too busy enjoying life here and now to worry about appeasing an invisible cosmic bully with serious insecurity issues.
And what’s the deal with needing love so bad from people who don’t even believe you exist? That’s like an imaginary friend throwing a tantrum because you won’t play with them. “Oh, you don’t believe in me? I’m gonna make your life miserable!” Yeah, that’ll really convince someone.
Why don't atheists love a God who keeps punishing them? Well, let’s break it down like this: Imagine you’ve got this neighbor who keeps breaking into your house, smashing your stuff, and leaving notes that say, “I’ll stop if you just admit I’m the best neighbor ever.” Now, would you love this guy? Or would you maybe think he’s got a few screws loose? See, atheists look at this whole “God punishing you until you love Him” thing kind of the same way.
