What if we do not want to live? What is the fault of the sinners who are dammed to go to hell? May be they never wish to have been created. If our destiny is already determined by our birth, what is the fault of the mankind?

He does not view us as toys, but as His children. He created us, and gave us free will, so we could go out and choose our own paths; however, we must always remember the Lord's words/guidelines. What we make of this life is up to us. Essentially, I think this gift of life, is just a true test of our character, and how much effort we put into doing the right things, being productive members of society, and following God's law, and moral code of conduct.
If you do not want to live/want to take your life, it means you don't respect your life, which is an insult to the creator.
Really, faith and god are linked to us in a parental way. We are rewarded for our good deeds, and punished for the bad.
For example, those people, the ones you call sinners, they are punished or at fault because they refuse to follow simple laws or a moral code of conduct...ie. they show careless disregard for how they affect the lives of others or their own lives. Therefore, committing murder, or committing suicide are both wrong.
So in essence, our destiny is not completely determined, as we have been given free will to add to the spice of life. As you can see, we're obviously not robots. Our lives may be directed by God to a certain degree, but the choices we make are totally our own.

GOD created us, to learn, to live with a purpose in life, to do good, to spread kindness & happiness around..He does not see humans as toys but as HIS very own children..HE wants us to go through trials & tribulations to make us a better person for every obstacle we clear, we will learn something good from it depending on how you see it; be it positively or negatively..
HE created us humans, to fill the world with love, care, and all the nice things you can ever think of..
When we're born into this world and go through the stage of infancy, we want to grow up fast as we see the world in the most innocent view..It is the harsh world out their that actually gives us the idea that maybe dying is a better solution rather than to live..
No one actually knows what it feels like or how it is like after death..so why take the chance to do something risky you can never assure of that death is the best solution as compared to living?
Sinners who are condemned in hell, goes there not because of the grave sin that they've committed in their life..It is because they are unrepentent that they are condemned to hell..
Our destiny has been determined by birth but we can change our fate depending on how you view your life as a whole and how you want your life to be..

Too many questions, dude!
1) He wanted to. "for His pleasure"
2) Not mechanical ones. Ones with the power of choice. That He's quite willing to give His life for.
3) Don't! Read Malachi 4. You have the option of going back to dust.
4) "Fault" assumes that they don't want to go there. It's a choice!
5) Who said your destiny "is already determined by your birth"? In Biblical Christianity you're "predestinated" to have the glory originally intended for you restored, and the eternal life of your choice. Christ offers that full spectrum of choice. (I know. He's got a lot of phony representatives. Can you pick out the true?)

I look at afterlife and hell as religious garbage that does not exist... this IS heaven and hell on EARTH. There IS no afterlife... just ridiculous. And I do believe that when a person has tried long enough and is miserable enough and has endured a living hell long enough regardless of who what when where or why it may be time to end it all. God knows this is personal and relative but a person has a right.

No, God didn't put us here just to indulge ourselves or have a good time (at least in the way some people probably mean it). God put us here for a purpose—and that purpose is to live for Him and experience the joy of His presence every day.
The problem is, God wants to be at the center of our lives‐but so do we. We want to run our own lives and be free to do anything we please because we think that must be the path to happiness. But when we live only for ourselves, we find it doesn't bring us happiness after all. In fact, a life of self-indulgence only leads to emptiness. The Bible warns, "There is a way that seems right to a man, but in the end it leads to death" (Proverbs 14:12).
But God has another way for us—His way! It alone is the way of peace, and it alone will bring us true happiness. Not only that, but His path alone will lead us to heaven. What is that way? It is the way of the cross—Christ's cross. On the cross Christ took away all our sins and selfishness, and now He wants to come into our lives and replace them with His love.
Jesus said, "I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full" (John 10:10). Turn to Christ today and ask Him to come into your life. Then ask Him to begin changing you from within—and He will, as you yield your life to Him and allow His Word, the Bible, to shape your life every day.

I'm going to have to say that although we did not choose to be here, our lives are what we make them. That's why we have free will. We can make our own decisions. You are assuming we have no control over our own lives. The fault of mankind is not learning how to make wise decisions and doing something useful with their lives.

yup, we are probably just toys or sumttin. god created us to live in happiness and pain. Some of us might not want to live at all cus of bad experiences in life or sumttin. but u cant just kill yourself because that is probably one of the worst sins. If you dont like ur life, all u can really do is help others live their enjoyable lives. maybe that will show you how good it is to live.

GOD knows all and sees all but we make our choices and decisions not. he has given us the right to choose between good and evil and this is the basis in which we will live. he does not see us as toys but as his servants we are on this earth to serve him and pray to him and that is the true test and this is how we will be judged u dont have to do good God knows all this is why he knows what will happen and who will do evil but we are still judged according to our deeds he is not the one that makes our choices we are i hope that helped

Ah the age old question of why am i here. As humans we cannot understand the will of God because he is so much more then we. Whatever God's plan is it's whats important so I don't really worry about it much.
