Umm...I'm not exactly sure what you mean but I think you want me
to say "Yes".

Because then that makes humanity of no value. We have to act while
we're here; we have to interact with each other and with God; we have to
make the choices (even though God knows we're going to make them) that
determine our eternal destiny.
I think part of the problem with this is your last phrase:
"Wasting all that valuable time". From #1, time means little or nothing to
God.
BTW, you're not talking about orthodox Christianity there. Good
does not automatically mean go to heaven; bad does not automatically mean
go to hell.
