The highlighted word in quotes was "Made". "Made to suffer" implies that the suffering is inescapable, such is not the case.

Why do I think you fear anything? Oh I don't know, possibly could be two pages of agressive responses to a single inoxious question. As I said we do not share a common language, but I believe the concept of a frightened animal attacking in fear translates rather well.

You mistake annoyance for fear.

Do you believe that those who do not accept Jesus will be MADE to perish in hell?

You asked the question "Why would love frighten anyone?" before all those responses. Why did you ask the question to begin with? I suspect you are just here to troll.

I do not want this "gift" because I do not believe there is a God; or, if there is one, he/she/it is a senseless, cruel creature unworthy of my respect (see my previous post). Surely this possibility must have occurred to you?

Please explain why your god allows humans to suffer.

Your suspicion is in error. I was invited here.

Hardly an 'innocuous question' given the context.

You were basically asking why we won't accept your maniacal tyrant 'into our hearts', in a coy way.

Okay, then please get to the point. Stop hiding behind coy questions.

What about Hell? It exists. You are not "made" to go there and suffer.
