Just a willful attempt to distort the Bible. Anyone who has seen "Back to the Future" could answer this. Think up something harder.

Well lets start with your question. It should either read "Where are my flaws?" or "Where is my flaw?"
Since mommy had "psychic powers" I'm going to say that she was evil before she let her daughter go out. I'm guessing "sill" means still, there's another flaw.
In the end billions of people will not only rot in hell but they will also burn in hell for eternity. Weird huh? Rotting and burning at the same time.
Without God how would we even know what evil is?
Bottom line is God is God and He does what He wants when He wants. We are never going to understand Him or all the things He does. So why keep questioning Him?

God is Holy. He knew who would be evil and who would not be. He also calculated that the sufferings on earth are nothing compared to the reward of Eternal life in Heaven for those who genuinely love Him.
There is only one test to see if someone loves you. You must set it free. If it is completely free to do and think and love as it likes, then the choice of that life to believe or love in return is genuine.
God did not create Robots. God does not force peoples hands to do Evil.
You try to shift the blame to God for the actions of others.
You do not look at things from His point of view as the Creator so you cannot understand the bigger picture.
Your analogy is flawed also because it is out of context of God's purpose and plan for Creation.
You also completely fail to address the number one purpose for Creation: to Glorify Him. Even in the sick sinful mess that we made of things, He has found a Holy & Perfect way to redeem mankind.
How else could He show love to those who do not know what suffering and hatred is like. Try explaining these concepts to little children or the mentally retarted. They cannot truly grasp hatred. They are innocent.
But mature people know how wicked the world and their own hearts can be.
The decision to create Free Will is not the same as creating Evil.

You need DOORS for your flaws.
God gave all his creation FREE WILL.
Satan was once a good angel.
Satan used his free will to seek worship due only to God.
This action made him Satan.
Against God, or God's enemy.
Hell is not a place of eternal punishment
Hell [ Hades in the Bible] will be eliminated
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Ha′des were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.
Anything into fire is destroyed.
So the ' lake of fire' is simply destruction.
Because 'hell' is closely associated with death, it can only be the grave. No death = no graves
Satan will also end up there..Not so much a 'place' buit destroyed.
(Revelation 20:10) And the Devil who was misleading them was hurled into the lake of fire and sulphur, where both the wild beast and the false prophet [already were]; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.
Destruction for Satan would be torment. He thought he would live forever.
The ' wild beast' and the ' false prophet' are earthly organisations. An organisation cannot feel pain therefore cannot be tormented. But CAN be destroyed.
(Romans 6:23) For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.
Wages is full payment for something. Your death is full payment for your sins. There is nothing further to punish you for. You have paid.
You die, you owe nothing, there is no reason for God to 'continue' punishment of any kind..
It is a false teaching, designed to keep people in line through fear. You must be aware of the religion that teaches this.
When we give people free will, they can use it for good or bad. Example; freedom to drive a vehicle. You can either speed or drive safe. why should God be any different. He gave us choices.

Satan was an angel who was created perfect, but with free will. Satan chose to become what he became, God didn't know that he was going to do that. God is not evil, he did not create evil and he does not try anyone. (James 1:13)
Billions of people are not burning in hell. Hell is the common grave of mankind, not a fiery place of torment. Ecclesiastes 9:5 - "For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten."

Your #1 flaw is in the fact that Eve was not deceived. She was tempted but nothing that was said to her by the serpent was untrue. In fact her response is stating what God had said. Things went wrong when she saw that the fruit was good for food, it was pleasing to her eye and good for wisdom. Her attention went to what was good for her and she ate it. By eating the apple she did become like God as the serpent promised. She (and Adam) became the God of their own lives. They kicked God out of the driver's seat.
Your #2 flaw is that you miss the entire goal of creation at the onset. God created Adam and Eve to be in relationship with him. If God chose to control everything then it would not be a relaionship possible of Love. For a true relationship to be possible the possibility has to be there of there not being a relationship. If God had predesigned and predetermined every possible action he would have no relationship, have no love, and therefore would not have what he wanted to have in creation.
Pain is an inevitable risk if there is to be love. Yes, God could have done lots of things but instead he chose for there to be the possibility of love.
I'm not going to try and get God off the hook of evil in the world (even though it occurs at the hands of man) but I will make him responsible for true love.

Eh a stronger argument is that god knowingly kills babies. Ezekiel, if you wish. Being the hitman does not make you innocent to murder.
Christians will come back with the "free will" argument. If god/mom stops things from happening, the murderer doesn't have true free will. Which is retarded really, because god stops him from flying too. The murderer probably didn't get the free will to pick his childhood either.
You'd like What God Wants by Neale Donald Walsch. He's not religious at all. It's a similar argument - if god is all powerful, he would not do something that makes him constantly miserable. God cannot "want" because he gets what he wants instantly. So either god wants earth to be this miserable, or, god wants nothing!

i find no flaw other than th misuse of is but that do not matter any at all, most ppl will argue about freewill with you when asked this, and they have a right to do so, but unless they admit that god knowingly introduced evil into the world they are exercising their free will to avoid the truth that we are all more than likely an ant farm for a psychopath with a magnifying glass

Free will beings have the potential for evil and also the greatest expressions of love.
You don't have to be a psychic to know leaving your daughter with a madman is evil. She had that man to protect her. It was Adams sin that was called into account.
God knew this could potentially happen and was prepared for it.

1) Mommy doesn't necessarily have psychic powers, her insight can come from God himself.
2)God created all things with a free will. God did not want robots. Yes God created Lucifer, but he created Lucifer with a free will. Lucifer became jealous of God and wanted to be like him, hence Lucifer's fall from grace. Same goes for Eve.
God created us all, he gave us free will and yes, if we all obeyed God and followed him there would be no sin, but because Pride got in the way the order of things changed.
Now death has come into it, but if you truly believe in God and his word and commit your life to him and his order of things then you will never know death, but eternal life with him.
God is not evil, he is Good and wonderful, you just don't know him!
Make sure your not one of the billions rotting in hell!
