Because God does not coerce. If a person wants to go to jail for life, that is their choice. But God is not going to prevent the creation of those who will be saved just because of the many who refuse salvation. That would give evil the upper hand don't you think?

I would suggest you stop assuming you are being logical and believing in the magic of atheism (your magical idol or being), but come to the cross as a helpless sinner to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior, for Jesus who is uncreated with the Father and the Spirit (the 3 forms of God in One Being in 3 Persons, distinct but not separate) created you before the foundations of the world. Jesus entered His creation, died on the cross for your sins and was resurrected to prove He is God. Since there is no naturalistic theory to account for the data of the eyewitness testimonies in various group settings, know Jesus is God.

Unless you appreciate the fact that you are a sinner, you can't keep the law, all sin gets punished, sin leads to death and the second death which is Hell, how will you ever come to believe in Christ (the perfect sinless sacrifice), His grace and mercy, so that you may be born-again? Without being born-again, you can't receive a new spirit, a renewed mind, and the Holy Spirit Who enters through the window of your conscience to rest in your intuitive spirit to be your guiding principle in life. Nor will the evil spirit be removed from your inner man and let go of the strongholds he has in your mind with your various mistaken assumptions and convoluted thoughts.
