Let's say, for example, you had made a planet filled with 6 billion people. You all gave them free will.
It turned out that the free will of 3 billion people didn't care about the fact that the other 3 billion people live in poverty, hunger or starvation.
You also saw that the rich 3 billion people kept on using free will as an excuse to get richer, and let the other 3 billion people would get poorer and poorer. The 3 billion poor people also have free will, but their free will didn't really count, because the free will of the rich 3 billion was superior.
Wouldn't you change it, if you came to realise that what you made, didn't really work out the way you hoped it would when you made it ?
Or would you do as all the previous Higher Powers, that kept hiding themselves behind the useless empty argument "oh, but they have free will" ?

Point made and a good one. The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer. Many poor want to pull themselves up and try to become something. They can't due to their circumstances. But those elite who have plenty don't offer help either. Accordingly, we all have freedom of choice and opportunity. But I hear you... sometimes the opportunity doesn't fall in the place where it's needed, when needed or as needed......who can change it? You tell me. wish I knew too.....don't think GOD..HE already did all HE is going to do in that way. HE gave a Son up to death to save us and HE will if we do what we are supposed to do. It's just easier for some than others to do some of these things, isn't it??????????????

This is not so much about free will. It's more about fairness and compassion towards the weakest members of our global society. So yes. If I had the power, I would change things so that everyone would have the chance to do better and feel more like they are a part of the global community.

I know this family who made five children they are all adults now, two did not turn out as they expected. What do you think they should do? Change them seeing that the children did not turn out the way they hoped they would when they were made.

i am sure if you are hungry the nearest church will be willing to feed.
or you might try the rescue mission, or the food bank, of course they are all christian.
just like the Christians that send millions of dollars of food the third world countries every year.

I would drive off in my limosine, cuddle up by the fire and sip on my wine and insist that everyone call me god.

If he were to change it, that would be taking away our free-will.
He isn't going to do that.
