Do we (people) choose god or does god choose us

People who think they are "chosen" by God are, I think, deluded and often dangerous. If there is a God, and he is omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent, then either he does single us out, or he permits some pretty weird and random sh!t to take place.
I don't think people really "choose" God either; you either believe or you don't, and no amount of psyching yourself up is going to make you believe if you already do not. In that case, it usually takes one of those aforementioned occurances, generally of the life-changing sort, to put you on that path. But I don't see it as a choice, rather more like being straight or gay.

Everyone on the earth is chosen by God. Only a few choose to answer back to Him.

Just as God chose who to be straight or gay.

You don't know God. Nobody knows God. We have termed all unidentified sources of power as 'God'. Most of you have heard of 'Cause & Effect', but have you heard of 'Choice, Cause & Effect'? When people are referring to God's-will, they are only referring to 'Effect'. They skip 'Cause' and, of course, ignore 'Choice'.

If I truly have free will to make any choice I want, then how does God already know what I will choose? If God knows the future, then are the choices I'm making today not already made as far as God is concerned? Who wrote the script I'm living? Me or God?

If freedom to choose is given to man by God man has two main choices 1) accept the Love of God and, upon death, go to paradise for eternity, 2) Refuse God and be damned forever. How is that freedom of choice when it is the same thing as a gun to the head?

The God of Genesis bestowed "freewill" upon us (the freedom to choose), but doesn't seem willing to honor our choices, and instead, would reward us with punishment if our choices are not in harmony with (His/Her/Its) wishes. Any comment on that?
