So why didn't he create a perfect free race that would not fall for Satan, and also loved him out of the bottom of their hearts?
As opposed to our examples of "free will."

You misunderstand...this race would be perfect, and love God because they wanted to. Just like you do. Even if they had other options, they chose not to pick them.
Eve chose not to love God.God created her knowing she would do this.
Why did he not create someone who would love God of her own free will?

The live force that you associate as "God" does not want. Does not desire. Does not condem.

First of all, Eve did not choose to not love God....
She wanted to be GOD!!!!
Do you notice this pattern, Satan, Adam, Eve, and even men today they all want to be in the Driver's Seat, they want to be God, but we can't!!!!
Eve wanted to be all powerful and be better than God, and so do many today....
You do not understand what purpose is, you are looking through your eyes and we already know that you are incapable of understanding this, look through God's eyes and there only there will you understand, but no one here can answer that question, for we are not God and do not understand the ways of God....

God created Satan. It would seem that if God was irresistible then it would require no strength to choose the path of the righteous. Thomas Aquinas believed that God imbued man with reason so that he might walk in the light of God willingly, not out of ignorance. If it was easy, everybody would do it.

because God gave us a free will to live our lives... who knows maybe there's another world out there with other beings on them who are robots and do whatever he commands. God wants our love on our own free will. Satan is here to try and tempt us and to make us do bad... but since adam and eve ate from the tree of good and evil... we have the right to choose good or bad. God created us to be free individuals... to choose him or death.

Wouldn't you feel better if you were in God's shoes of Love and wisdom, to have the people you created with free will to come to you. Instead of creating souls for yourself.... do you see what I mean. It's more loving and meaningful.

Well that is a common question. If God forced everyone to love him, just like he wants the it would end in sadness. I mean look at Hitler when he forced people. It only ended to horrible slavery.
