create a living being in your own image and give this being a free will?
Why is man bad?
All because of the free will given him by God. Man is a bad design from the beginning.
A free will is the pinnacle of human imperfection.
If I were building a computer and I don't want it to commit errors, I would strive to program it not to do such.
I would want my creation to conform strictly to MY will.
I can see how religious faith can get really trying and very tough to maintain in such a world filled with misery, suffering, war, poverty, selfishness, greed, cruelty, death, destruction, illness, deformity of babies, handicaps, gross bodily functions (as BO, vomiting, defecation and urination), filth, squalor, crime, unjust killings, unjustified anger, hatred, bullying, cowardice, destructive natural events, loneliness, ignorance, thoughtlessness, carelessness, negligence, irresponsibility, lies, deception, violence, hunger, famine, drought, pestilence, overpopulation, pollution, government corruption and environmental decay.
Is the devil really the Father of All the World's Troubles? Isn't God more powerful than the devil? Why does the devil seem to prevail in this world?
The world really looks and feels like hell to me.
