Why did God make humans capable of the heinous crimes that they commit? What does it accomplish--it just creates victims and suffering. And why can one of these vile people get into heaven if they repent and accept Jesus, and I, as a non-believer, cannot? And the sufferer--does he get into heaven? Christianity is just too liberal for me.

Satan is the evil one who corrupts people into doing heinous crimes. I can not even imagine Thinking like vile, evil, criminals. Christianity is not liberal, because it takes total faith, something too many people no longer have.

Christianity is not liberal.It is spiritual and it is a warfare that you can not see with a natural eye. God made us yet we are born in sin and shaped in iniquity. Jesus came to change the vile,victims and suffering. God wants to change the way we think. Love is spending time and wanting to know love. God is love and he makes a way to reconcile us to him. He said pray for others and aid others in their walk in this life. We are so busy pointing fingers at each other,we do not turn and look at God. Christianity is the hardest thing a person can accomplish and the only way it will work is with the prompting of God's spirit. You can never do it on your own. We could not do it unless God had made it this way. God orchestrates us to get to where he wants us.Then he fills us with his spirit. We moan and groan and fight with him and fuss,because a change brings about pain. He shakes us so hard that we lose friends and family and things that come between us and him. He gets rid of all distractions for the kingdoms sake. He cleanse us and washes us. It is a scary process and a painful one. Yet he is tender and gentle and he understands. Weeping does endure for a night, but if we do not walk away joy does come in the morning. It is more than just repenting and more than and acceptence.It is embarrassing and sad. We are exposed and ridiculed.Because we no longer have a appetite for the things we once enjoyed. When we sin we are responsible for the heinous crimes we commit,we sin against God by disobediance. So these acts creat victims and suffering.

God and free will do not match up in my book. To simplify it; why would god give out free will and then punish you for using it? It doesn't compute. I've asked this very question here and the only kind of answers I get are something akin to 'Well if god didn't give you freewill, you would be a robot' or 'God gave you choices but it's up to you to pick the right ones'. Apparently we have free will to do what god wants us to do and if we don't we go to hell. None of it makes sense if you ask me...

God made us in the image of Him. That means that we know what is right and what is wrong.
It is not God's fault that we use our free will wrong. Heaven is the perfect place. Then we do not have our free will anymore.
God is the same for everyone. God's Word is the same fro everyone. In the court of God, the criminal goes free. I think that is a great system.

Perhaps God should just have created robots.
Any sin is a heinous crime as far as God is concerned and all can be forgiven if we repent.

True. If it was merely to "test" people by giving them free will, then there would certainly be no need to have our choices run the gamut of horrors that they do.
Either god doesn't exist, or if it does then it is cruel and inhuman.

If we didn't have free will, the free will to do anything we want, we wouldn't have the free will to choose him and truly repent from our sins and change our ways. We get to choose him, thats why people like you exsist, because you are allowed to choose, and you choose not to believe. I choose to believe.
You would sure hate to not have that choice, actually, you wouldn't hate it, you wouldn't have the free will to be able to hate it.
