Yes I mean using that freewill god blessed you with just to be told what to do is such a waste. I don't see why if God wanted blind followers that he just simply will them to be.

Thank you for your question. The answers you seek are in the Bible but here is the gist of it: God created Heaven and Hell. He didn't create Hell just for it to stay empty; in fact, He designed the rules of game called life in such a way that most people end up in Hell and only a minority in Heaven:
Matthew 7:13-14
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Why is that, you may ask; I don't know, but I suppose overcrowding is part of the punishment and Heaven is more like spacious suburbs.
So basically, yes. God gave us free will because He wants to send the majority of humanity to Hell. He even gives delusions to some people on purpose, so that they sin and go to Hell:
2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11 And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie:
12 That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
I hope that answered your question, sweetie.
