He did at the beginning. Man let him down...not the other way around. He could have just made us robots to do whatever He wanted us to do....but what good is love if the person has no other choice but to love?
The Bible is written by man...even if some of it??? is inspired by God. This is also true of every other religious text on earth. God did not start religions. They are man made.
God is very real....but people need to come to Him when he calls them....to develop a personal relationship with Him. Then and only then will they know the heart of their Creator.

God gave free will. This material world is created for all the rascals who want to be God and who don't want to surrender to him. Why because there is no envy in the spiritual Kingdom. So as soon as we envy his position we come here. Those who are trying to surrender to Him if they fully surrender to Him at the time of death will return to utopia. The eternal spiritual abode, where there is no more birth, death, old age or disease. One has to understand karma, and reincarnation, and no one goes to hell eternally to understand Gods unlimited Love and mercy. For the original new testament before king Constantine took all this out of the Bible google gospelofthenazirenes.com I love the Truth. It will set you free- to real utopia

"Pain is the breaking of the shell of your understanding"........(chapter on 'Suffering' The Prophet, by Kahil Gibran)
understanding the reason for suffering is important for spiritual growth. Often we wonder why such difficult and painful things happen. I believe that these events, which we call negative, are the push that forces us out of complacency. We either get up, and move on (grow, change), or we sit and cry about it. We can take a negative, and turn it into a positive, life changing event.

god did create a utopia it was called the garden of eden. but because adam and eve sinned they were cast out into the world to toil and to be tested in their fath. i think of it as god teaching us all a leason for the rest of the time we are all on earth. or he never got over a grudge... i m not god so i dont know. but its important to do good here on earth, while you are here so that you may florish in the afterlife

Because there is no god and everything around you was created over millions of years by natural processes.

Well think about it.Satan lived in Heaven but choose to be power hungry.So perhaps God wanted to make it so those who do go to Heaven wont be stupid and think they can take over, therefore take thousands of souls down with them.Just what i think.
