For what purpose? If he wants faithfulness, why not create mind-slaves? Would we have known any different? Would we have been any less happy? Maybe more so?And again, God created this world with hurricanes an tidal waves and floods and freezes. Things man has/had no control over, yet they test humans every day, kill humans every year. Is he not respnsible for any of it? He holds no responsibility for the world he created, or how it affects the beings he created and placed within it? If you buy a goldfish, and then let the water evporate out of the bowl until the fish dies, do you hold no repsonsibility? The fish had a will of its own outside of yours, does that relieve you of all responsibility as it does for God?Truth is religion explains free will away as the ultimate test of faith. Yet I know of none that explain WHY We are given free will, and then tested on that free will constantly. Im no expert on world religions, maybe someone knows one, but I dont. All Ive ever heard is the will of God is too grand for our minds to comprehend, the ultimate cop-out answer. Apparently our minds are too simple to understand God's will, but is complex enough to comprehend his existnce, heaven and hell, the tests here upon earth, etc. We are smart enough to understand just enough to bide by his test and conform to his universe, but not quite enough to understand why. Ironically convenient logic. One could almost say, a slave to his world and his desire for faith.</blockquote>
