If you gotta threaten me to get me to do what you want
It's not threatening, and it's not what I want. It's what God wants, and I'm only trying to spread His will to prevent you from going to Hell.

At least I'll be able to say I thought for myself and fought for myself. I tried to be the best, strongest, free willed person I could be.
I think you just have too much pride to admit that you're not yet satisfied in life. Becoming a Christian doesn't make you sacrifice freedom at all. You'll have more freedom than you've ever had before!

If that isn't good enough for "God", I'll get over it.  So can he.
No, that certainly isn't enough for God. In fact, we're all sinners and we all fall short of the glory of God. The only way to be reconciled with God and to get to Heaven is through his Son, Jesus Christ.
Also, let me ask you this. Do you celebrate Christmas? If so, you do realize the true meaning of the day, don't you? It's not about giving presents or being with family. Those things are all nice, but the true meaning is that of Jesus' birth, more than 2000 years ago in a stable.
And furthermore, how do you think man came to be on this very planet? Certainly you don't believe one man (Darwin) as opposed to hundreds of archaeologists! Time and time again, history has proven the Bible to true, and more amazingly, Jesus' miracles have been recorded by people who lived at the same time as him but weren't even followers.
If you haven't read a good book lately, read the Bible. Start with John, and then go to Romans. Or, if you're not into doing that just yet, read The Case for Christ by Lee Strobel. It's about a journalist searching for the truth, and he interviews something like 13 different people. And remember, the truth is only made known to those who are searching for it.
