he can just program u to love him, why not? becoz he loves u and

2) Restricts? U mean u like gambling, pre-marital sex, violence and
this is keeping u from becoming a christian? What kind of
recreatinal activities are u talking abt, and pls quote who said
one should not spend too much time on them...where is it
from?
3) If you are talking abt feeling good factors, then probably u are
seeing shallow "Christians" who go to church exactly for
that....how do u know it's not true? Judging from ur own
experience? Frm ur observation? How's ur walk with god?
4) It is natural for one not to feel God's love becoz u are
rejecting it. The very fact that u are breathing and eating is an
act of god's love. Suffering is caused by man's fall from grace and
the only way to relieve these is to recouncil with god, not to
fight him.
5) Yes God is love, but god is a just god. He will definitely let u
do what u want with ur life, but afterwards u have to face him and
be judged by him. If u are talking abt gambling, pre-marital sex,
violence and u have done it already, dun worry, there is no
condemnation if u believe in Jesus. U just have to receive him in
ur life and stop fighting with God and turning away from him.
From the way u wrote, I understand u are very afraid of sin
(mebeb becoz something u have done). But bear in mind,
there is no condemnation for anyone who believe in Christ.
Theres someone in my church (quite influenical) who says we
shouldnt listen to worldly music. It brings us away from God. He
even said it makes us spend less time with God, which is the
purpose of the devil.
Lim pei not scared of anything leh. 
As for you other points, I will reserve my comments till I hear
further opinions.
