...people with free will, living in a world just like this one...only the world wouldn't contain evil, suffering, dying, or death...
If I can do that so easily, and I had all the power of God...Why didn't "God" do it that way?
(If your answer is "He has his reasons,"...they're not very good ones...If your answer is that "You cannot imagine what you claimed to be able to imagine"...well...I just did by telling you about it...If your answer is "There are things we were not meant to know or understand, or are capable of understanding..." Then...again...God messed up...cause I can imagine reasons why there would "be" no reason for us not to know or understand...)
So what it is, religious people...? If "I" can imagine all that, and the proof is that I just told you that I can by telling you about it...Why did God not do it that way also?
If it's that easy for me...it would have to be even easier for Him...Get it?!? The answer would be...He messed up...

Again...if your answer is..."He did do it that way...everything "bad" is people's fault..." Then again I say...I can imagine a world of people who would never have messed up like that...you see...I can accurately and rightly point out the obvious fallacies of your thinking process, and show why your answers prove there probably is no God, and if there is...He messed up royally...(not us)
He did...(if he exists...which is probably not the case as I have shown in this question)

Once again...If there is, indeed, a God...this question proves He is, indeed, very fallible...and if He is very fallible...the blame rests solely on His cosmic shoulders...
Not our earthly ones...evil, suffering, dying, and death is not people's fault...
"If" there is a God...

Again and again I say...I can imagine a world and universe where there's free will, and nobody would ever choose to mess up the way you people say Adam and Eve did...if I can imagine that...why couldn't he...please read my entire question before you answer it...you'll all answering the question as if you didn't read it fully...I already told you why it would have to be God's fault, if I can imagine a universe where is wasn't and would never be our free will choice to mess up...I can imagine a universe where people would have the free will to mess up...but never would...get it?!?

Angie N is the only one so far that understood my point...
If there is a God...He deliberately made us flawed...and the Universe...so who's ultimately to blame for all this...
God...(good job Angie N...you're a true thinker...and I like that in a person...and your counter debate point was well said...lol...)

IF there is a being known as God, he is having one hell of a good time laughing at us. What else could entertain an omnipresent being? Our hate, wars, disrespect, greed, and all the other things that humans are. It is neither God nor man which causes these things. They just are. We cannot even comprehend the abilities of a God or question why. We cannot even comprehend the size and age of the Universe our tiny little planet rolls around in. this place will never be a Utopia of which we dream. Humans are animals after all, animals are guided by basic instinct, humans have the basic instincts of predators. IF God does exist, he is laughing, or he has turned his back and just doesn't care anymore, cosmic tough love...Oh when I leave behind this fleshy prison car to soar among the galaxies as they are born-die-reborn-die...We can only endeavor to make our immediate world around us the Utopia we desire. God, Allah, Muhammad, Isis, Thor, Loki, Ishtar and the rest are no longer interested, if they ever were, if they ever existed...

If I were to imagine a universe without any God or other supernatural powers what so ever than things to me would be a lot more chaotic. There would be fear from each other more so than there is now, because I imagine that there would be no order. Yes fear guides some of us and all, but not to the extremes I imagine. I imagine that we would be barbaric, and would not have had the opportunities to evolve and learn what we have learned about us and our enviroments. You don't see yourself in a universe designed by a loving God, but I see us in that universe that you cannot imagine. I see us living on a planet that had the influences of intelligent design and I see us living in a world that was encouraged by a higher power, not to deform and maim another, but encouraged us to understand our origins, our genetic makeup, and to evolove into something better. I see a world where we have been given freewill to grow as our minds, and hearts inable us. I believe that we have to be willing to see and believe and be willing to relinquish some control, because we cannot control everything. Good question though!!!:o)

Hate to break it to you but Parallax tried that out in Zero Hour and it didn't work too good. Flawed as the Universe was, the others heroes knew Hal's rendition of creation was not right. Just how the cookie crumbles sometimes. We make the best of what we have and we depend on one another to make it work. The best way to learn things is in the harshest of conditions. We then show what we are really made of. That is what this experiment is all about.

Angie N is on to something.
Without the trials of overcoming evil and growing as a result, There is no progress. We were sent hear to prove ourselves worthy and to grow and develope, without opposition, how would we know what we are made of? In a sense Satan and evil are doing us a favor. He is quite literally a neccessary evil. Without opposition to good, there really is no good and this whole sharade is a waste of time. This is like spiritual basic training, we are here to prove what we are worth and really learn and understand what good is. Satan is not only unwittingly facilitating this plan, but his evil is a kind of proof that God does in fact exist.

We are in the universe, we are but a small part of it. There are other planets out there that know how to live as one. They remember, RE MEMBER, what God wants, they share what they have, they care for each other as a whole community, the elders help raise the little ones. These beings are called HEBS, (highly evolved beings). This was what Jesus was, a HEB.
There are some good books out there with this information.

If you think of God as the cause of life, but not as a kindly (or spiteful) old man sitting on a cloud feeling all the same petty emotions that we do and playing with people's lives, it's a lot easier to swallow.
At least for me. Something started all this, but I don't think It is concerned with 6 billion people's day to day lives.

You answered your own question. Free will. God didn't mess this world up. We did. I don't understand why people insist on blaming the One who is blameless. We sinned. We made the bad choices, not God. We are the ones who screwed this world up.

How's this ... God was lonely and made children. Children mature. When true maturity occurs, what you imagine happening will exist. That's one theory. Given time, I can come up with more.

God has His reasons for what He does or does not do! prayers are answered but sometimes not the way you want them to be! Every action that He causes has a reaction, some will and some won't see it! you would be the one that...?

God DID do it that way.
Then Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden.
God is perfection, it's mankind that screws things up.
