God trying to save us? From what? He says serve him in every way, or he'll send us to Hell. He basically says serve him or die, so the only thing he's saving us from is his own punishment.
That's akin to someone demanding you pay them so they won't wreck your home or business.
Edit: As for the link, if God wanted to create something that would serve him only and forever, he should have created robots. He didn't though, and created people with free will.The consequence of doing that is that some people aren't going to serve him. He should just be happy with the ones that do, but instead he decides to punish people that don't. What is the point of free will if we get punished for eternity for not giving up that freedom for him?
