Ok you're not thinking about it simon.
if we had proof that he did exist and proof there is a such place known as the damned, then every one would choose god because they don't want to be claimed by the damned.
so they'd be using God rather then choosing him because they love him. and so God would be back to square one.
that's the whole reason he planned for eve and adam to eat of the tree of knowledge. he wanted them to gain the knowledge of evil so they could make the choice rather the being born to love him.
imagine you have created something like God created us. you wanted your creation to love you. But the problem is, they love you because you designed them to love you from the start. then that wouldn't be true love. it would be forced love. Now what kind of mad God would force people to love him. so he gave us the knowledge of evil so we could make the choice. live in sin and ignore Gods invitation to escape. or Put a little bit of faith into trusting something he left behind for us.
he wants you to make the choice based on how wise you are. he wants you to trust him and simply take his word for it. Not to ask him to save you simply becuase you don't want to be claimed by saten.
