Isn't America great. Even you can stand up and spew crap.
Edit
If you are going to tell us about God you should read the bible to see what it really says.

God did not create man to be as perfect as him because if he did then man would be a robot. What would be the point of loving a robot? It does not have a point because the robot has no ability to love back. There can be no perfect love between a thing of free will and something without because it can not be reciprocated. It was only by creating man with free will was God's quality of love allowed to be shown because man can choose to reject him. This also allows God to feel pain because his love is rejected by so many but this let's God's love shine through because he respects us enough not to force conformity on us but allow us our own path.
People also do the same thing all the time with children. You know a child will break the rules and reject what you say and no matter what you insinuate a child does have free will to make choices. Does that mean we stop having children? No, it means we forgive them and welcome them home when they come to their senses.
Also, Hell is not a place where God tortures you for eternity. It is a state of total separation from God, which is what they people sent there choose in life, which causes a self inflicted torture because people will realize what they have done. However it in the end is what they wanted and God honors their decision.

That is exactally what he did, His original intentions was for Adam and Eve to live in a spotless, sinless, world. They were to have Children for God. Man didn't have freewell from the beginning, It wasn't until after the Fall of Adam that sin entered into the world, thus also giving man free will. God dosen't want to make anyone worship him, he want's us to believe and serve him because that is what we want. He will never make anyone believe, even though he could. And Hell was not originally made for man, it was made for Satan and his Angels. Its not just the fact of the unbelievers going to Hell because of their unbelief, its the fact that they have turned against their creator, believing in other Gods, worshiping other Gods, and making fun of God, mocking God, Laughing at God, and it dosn't just stop there, no they do it to the people who do believe in God. This being the Children of God, the Saints, all Believers. God said that if you do anything against his Children it is though you have done it against him, and the Wrath of God will be his vengeance upon that person. God has given everyone the opportunity to hear the word. Maybe not in the 3rd world countries yet, but they will before his return. Now after having that opportunity to accept it, but choose to deny it, then if you are not with God, then you are against him. No Lukewarm, You are either hot or cold.

Hell is eternal separation from God (and probably all your family and friends); Heaven is eternal presence with God and your saved family and friends. Why is *that* so hard to understand? If you don't want to be in the presence of God now, why would you wish to be in His presence for eternity? The best way to understand the Bible, the Word of God, is to read it and to attend a Bible-believing church. But first of all, read John 3:16. God bless you!
Dear "shaolt2002": The torture in hell is the realization you could have chosen, by your own free will, to spend eternity with God instead of spending eternity separated from Him!
Dear "Mr. what": Be careful! Your ignorance *and* your illiteracy are *both* showing! Man, *only* as inspired by God, wrote the Bible - God did not permit *any* error to occur in His inspired Word! God bless you, too, and I pray He will lead you into His Truth!

God did create humans perfect as Him. And yes He knew that they would sin. He also knew that there was no way they wouldn't exist. To make the matter more simpler, I'd ask you personally "Do you wish you never existed?" Just sit there and think about it, doesn't it feel cold and freaky to think you'd never exist? See, God knew you were suppose to exist for whatever reason. He also knows if you're going to hell or heaven. He also knows that there is nothing impossible for Him that He wouldn't be able to do. So even if He knows one will not go to Heaven, He can still change the future and make it so that one does goes to Heaven! That's why you're still alive and asking this question! One thing that God cannot do is force someone to love Him or accept Him! Every human was meant to be with Him. But there is a division between good and evil that humans can choose. Evil doesn't always only mean murdering. Evil means rejecting the good. If you're rejecting God and the commandments He gave you, then you accept evil. First commandments that people like to reject usually have to do with sex, stealing and lying. Sex, if not done the way God intended it to be, causes pain, abortion, abuse, betrayal and so on. Stealing causes tears, loss. Lying causes more confusion, more betrayal. All of these things are evil, but hard not to do for humans.
So to answer your next question, you are not a robot! Okay? You are part of God! You are His child! He loves you and the death of Jesus Christ for your sins was a planned out prove of His love to you! Now you don't have to worry about the 10 commandments or going to hell because Jesus paid the price for your sins. However, you still have a choice to accept that or reject that. Does God know whether you will accept or reject? Yes? But if you reject, and wish you weren't created, doesn't mean that other people who accept didn't have to exist! All people exist, because there is goodness in some of them! Because there are those who accept! It's your choice! Of course some people say that to be good doesn't mean you have to believe in God! Actually, real good people DO believe that there is God! By the way, whether satan takes people to hell or not, it's no longer on God's account, because He does not offer hell!! Jesus offers living water and a crown in the Kingdom of God through His Holy blood! But no matter how good someone is, we all fell short and can only be seen good in God's eyes through the blood of Christ, His son! Does God know whose heart will accept Jesus even before they hear about Jesus, or never get a chance to hear about Jesus? He does! That's why there will be people in heaven who never heard of Jesus, but God knows their hearts! So to say that you reject Jesus because you don't believe you need anyone to cover up for the things that you've done or that you just want to be left alone, or whatever, is not an excuse. God knows your heart! You don't even have to say whether you accept Jesus or not, He already knows, believe it or not! BUt the choice is still yours! It's really not that hard to understand.

What is your question?
For the Christian, there is a revelation spoken by the prophets. Everything we know about God can be found in the bible. There is no other information about God.
It would be better for you to read the New Testament and see what specifically is address. For example, God not man judges.
Answer: You ask much but say little. It would be better if you have factual understanding of what is being taught.

You make many false assumptions. Seek God and find the truth. those who seek and love the truth receive a gift of faith and through faith comes revelation and a real relationship with God. Knowing God personally will help you to understand God is loving and righteous. God paid the penalty of death for all of us though some will refuse his gift of life. How can an unrighteous God create the righteousness you think you have?

So many issues, so little time....
I'll try to be brief.
Adam and Eve is a metaphor for the first people who'd evolved far enough to understand the difference between right and wrong.
the "Jews" were the first monotheistic people to realize that there is One God. God did not choose them---the Jews chose Him (or her)
Jesus was the answer to the folks who were seeking a Messiah---and God gave them a very Jewish answer. The Jews wanted a son of David to come kick the Roman's behinds, and God gave them a guy who rides into Jerusalem on a donkey and allows himself to be tortured to death.
God speaks to us much like we speak to our children---and gives us information that we can handle. One does not speak to a 3 year-old the same way one speaks to a nine year-old. We are taught with parables, metaphorical stories, etc,
One can study the Bible like a karate student studying anatomy, and that student will find many weaknesses. Or
One can study with the hope of learning. Chew the hay. spit out the sticks. good-luck---B

God did this in the Bible because he's not real......All that adam spawned and evil did this and that, Do you think some man was following them around and Quoting them? Who obtained this information while there was no educated beings around to get this in Writing, nobody could even Read until about a thousand or so years later. It's all Obviously false.
*Typist*:So what was that again God? and let there be..?
*God*: Light, let there be light i said, right? and then there it came....what are the chances ya know *chuckles*...
*Typist*:(Typing away) uh huh uh huh... and.. ?
The occurances in the Bible contain these loop holes which will not properly be addressed by the religios folk because they don't want to realize how fake it obviously is. They will, as they already have, Curse at you, tell you you don't have faith, and will spew verses from teh Bible at you, which is already declared broken Obviously, yet they use what isn't working to prove the broken thing huh!?!? what!? They are a stupid people and will forever be so.
Stop giving me a Thumbs Down You Religious people, What I say is True and Denying it won't make it any Different!

You asked this exact same question last night.
When God created man with free will, he knew that some would suffer for eternity. However, he would rather have people who choose to love him and can freely love him than robots who only do what they're told.

God is not a human, he does not think as men think, he does not do as men do.
That same free will can be used not to sin in your life and to not be thrown into a pit of fire.
