If I was God (TM), I would not be forced by a human to choose between two choices .

Well, I'm God (I prefer to be called Addy, by the way), so you can't define my choices, lowly mortal. Non-existance for all of them.

That sounds like a good choice. Or a place of temporary, limited punishment, after which they might be able to enter heaven, if they regretted their earthly actions.

In order that I didn't appear as a two-faced lying bastard, I would stick to my inspired words in the bibble and send any of them who accepted Jesus to heaven, but toast the rest of them for eternity.

Of course, I would still be a two-faced lying bastard, owing to my breaking of the promise "anything you ask in my name will be granted." But hey, no-one's perfect, are they?

Humans. Such one-dimensional thinking, entirely limited to the musings of Bronze Age goat-herder revenge fantasies. When will they ever learn....

What prevents me, the omnipotent creator of the universe, from giving them non-existence?

I believe in a God of Love, and so if I am God all would go to heaven.

In the presence of me they won't do silly things anymore

Which would negate any need for a physical earthly life, due to the inevitable heavenly outcome. And since you have a physical earthly life, the god of love that you believe in does not exist.

I'd send them to a temporary hell to show em that this kind of behaviour is not tolerated by me. Once they realise that I'd let em into heaven.
