What God would you rather accept?

Here's the deal. For religious & spiritual folks it will be interesting to see the answers to this question. For atheists and all others, just play devil's advocate with this in presuming there is a higher power.

What I would like to hear from our members is this:

If you could choose between a God who has a set of rules that must be adhered to where some are "saved" based on following those rules OR a God who has no rules or constraints and everyone is "saved" yet it means that those you consider vile and "sinners" are also invited into heaven with you, which God would you choose if you knew that the first God meant that the majority of human-kind would have to either burn in hell or be destroyed forever?
I'd choose neither.

a God who has a set of rules that must be adhered to where some are "saved" based on following those rules
If I can 'earn' my own salvation I don't need God. I'd be my own God.

God who has no rules or constraints and everyone is "saved"
He doesn't sound like a very organized or just God to me. No thanks.

everyone is "saved" yet it means that those you consider vile and "sinners" are also invited into heaven with you
I would not follow a God where my 'main focus' was on another's path and not my own. I have to answer for my behavior, not another's.

"sinners" are also invited into heaven with you
Heaven is full of sinners. If you don't want to be around sinners, you best not be wanting to go to heaven.
