Sacrifice

If the people doing the sinning would stop then there would not be a need for sacrifices, right. So killing innocent people wouldn't be wrong?

God kills what? Yes He's angry, His people are sinning against Him. That's why Jesus came to be the finial sacrifice, God was tired of the people going through the motions, God would have rather enjoyed His people not sinning.

 Yes He did, yet because they had free will He still gave them the opportunity to chose to do the right thing. He did not force them to chose one way or the other, He has the power to do that, instead he was letting them determine their future regardless of what it would cost Him in the future. It cost Him dearly.
My neighborhood better get ready for a mass killing soon, because it wouldn't be a sin.

No, he gave them the brain chemistry that would lead them to do specific things. He gave Adam the just right amount of testosterone and other personality changing chemicals that would ultimately lead to the original sin. If I program a robot to do exactly what I thought it would do, and then get mad at it for doing it.

What is this incoherent babble?

He obviously failed because billions of people around the world have never even HEARD about Jesus, before and after him.

 He has been highly successful, because billions have been saved.

We can't just stop thinking for ourselves. Yahweh basically wants an oxymoron. A free thinking being who thinks exactly like him.

God kills people and animals, and demands the killing of people and animals, and he thinks this helps solve the problem somehow. It doesn't, evidences that mass killing haven't solved anything, yet that's all he knows so that's all he does. Even killing himself didn't work, and eventually he's going to come back and kill most of the population again.

He has not been successful, because trillions haven't. Even now there's about 2.5 billion christians in the world. Half of them catholic, which means many christians don't even consider half of their number true christians.

And, as usual, you can't actually demonstrate the truth of your statement. Or are you in regular contact with the dead who are in Heaven? If so, did you happen to record the conversations?

Yeah, I didn't think so.

God gave us hormones that make us act a certain way. Therefore, he gave Adam certain hormones that would lead him to sin.

A few brutally tortured for all of eternity, a few saved. That should be good enough, right?

Or, put more simply (so even GC can get it), gawd created mankind ill, then punished them when they puked on the floor.

There's no torture, one can't torture one's self, and in the end it's your choice where you spend eternity.

 Where's your proof, God will help those who seek His help to over come.
