Or do you doubt the will of God? If it isn't his will, then he isn't perfect, nor omniscient as he would know when he created me that I would "choose" to be this way. Which is it?

questioning God is not wrong... by all means!! :) even as a christian, i have questions every day. what does this mean? how does this work? how come life is like this? how come there is poverty, sin, sadness, etc etc???!! i believe as long as u are truly searching and continuously Learning and seeking what is Good, Positive, Right, and Healthy, than u are not doing anything wrong...but the minute u stop searching, and start looking down on others or getting upset, or pointing fingers, pretty much anything negative, that is where confusion, conflict, anger, sadness arises. christians need to learn this as well...if they truly sought Pure knowledge of good and evil, i believe they would see that judging others and condemning them to hell is the exact OPPOSITE of what God wanted us to do....
anyways, good luck to all of us. i hope we can continue to live, love and prosper in our lives here on earth.. it is truly full of Awesome things, as well as horrible... we can try to make a change, first individually, and hopefully spread that thru our children and friends and family and eventually by example~~ :)

God did not create anyone to be an atheist. that is a consequence of the Fall (when humans turned from God). being born in a fallen world means that no one is born with innate knowledge of God. i think God is omniscient and therefore able to construct a plan that can use atheists to challenge Christian beliefs. if you want to be an Atheist and challenge Christianity, by all means, freedom of religion allows you that choice. and since God allows free will, he allows that too. just my perspective.

It was your choice to become an athiest, not God's. Yes, he does know all the choices you will make, but they're still YOUR choices. He's not going to not create you just because He knows you will not believe in Him. Since you have been created, on judgement day He can say that you had your chance to accept Him and you didn't. God IS perfect, His creation is not. Do not be mistaken into thinking that your sin is God's will.

I simply desire to mention, That the extra I learn their questions and solutions the increasingly I see their sheer lack of knowledge. They feel whatever that was once advised to them or whatever that they learn, which makes them gullible. We Christians feel what we all know to be precise and the info were round due to the fact that the starting of time and we're the near minded. You can inform them any factor that could contradict the bible, and their all "oh yeah"? I feel it. All is I can say is God bless your souls. Cause whether or not you feel it or no longer it is precise He's coming And there will probably be an finish to all of the depraved PRAISE BE TO GOD AND WE SAY AMEN

Sorry i just had to repost this part , to show the example of yet another rude christian: "God didn't create you an atheist. You chose that by your own free will. Don't blame God for your stupidity. Jesus Christ is the only true and living God!"
hmmm lol

God created you to be like Him. You can do whatever you choose to do, just like He does. He doesn't force anybody to do anything. He DID know from before the creation of the world what you would be like. He wanted you to love him but in order to do that He had to make you able to hate Him, too. Guess what? We're not robots. We can do what we want but we're gonna get judged . . . so choose carefully.

He created you with free will.
He is omniscient (all-knowing) because he exists outside of time and can see past, present & future simultaneously.
Just because He knows something doesn't mean He controls it.
He says He is not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to the knowledge of Christ.

God created you in His image. He designed the Garden of Eden to be an intimate place where Adam and Eve could "touch the heart of God." Adam and Eve chose the forbidden fruit on their own....It's your choice. You are not a puppet.

there was just too many things going on in your question(s) but ill try to give an answer.
first, if there is a God...then He created all of us... I wouldn't say that He created anyone as an atheist, but that He created each one to believe what they want to believe (if someone choses not to believe in a Creator--then he becomes an atheist by his/her own choice).
second, it is human nature to ask the whys of life (as in the meaning of life) and that is why it is God's nature to reveal Himself to man--otherwise there is absolutely no point to humanity. and that explains why man has that unquenchable urge to question God (whether he gets that revelation or whether he doesn't).
third, it is human nature to challenge one's own beliefs and to challenge someone else's belief system that runs contrary to his own.

God did not create you "as an atheist". He doesn't create us as Christians. It is a choice. You are free to make your own.
