And still, he gets to test you... Even though he knows you will fail him.
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.

He is all knowing but not all intelligent he cannot be both. because if you are all knowing you would know everything. if he is all intelligent he would have to guess. still he knows we will fail him why doesn't he just i don't know kill us and start all over. god is like the parent who sees a baby start walking and doesn't need him and puts him into a obstacle field and says you can do it i'm sure you can but with my help without it you will fail. Lets see how far humanity has gotten we evolved. we expanded took over the land and not to mention we love technology and boy does technology grow fast. and this is to say we gotten far without god as people in the middle east still follow a bible and writes its laws around it. secularism first world country for the win.

The test is for us not Him, He teaches through the tests. Guess what, many complete the test responsibly and learn from that too.

And what exactly is he supposed to teach you if you end up burning in hell forever or just cease to exist? What use would you have for knowledge then?
He would still have created you to burn forever, and wouldn't have taught you anything by those tests you could actually use in such a situation.

If god is real and did create religion, I'm hoping his test was having humanity leave it behind.

I wasn't speaking of the lost, what makes you think that God teaches those who do not want to believe in Him, He will convict you to get your attention for salvation. God never created people to go to hell, He gives you a choice to stay out of hell.

God did not create religion man did, God wants a personal relationship with man.
