My views on objective morality

[Tiberius]

I don't follow Tibs. You seem to be placing restrictions on God again.

I'm not placing restrictions on God; I'm saying God places them on himself. The Christian God values free will of humanity over trying to protect them from all forms of evil.

Why can God only do it the ways you say?

Again, I'm not saying he can "only" do things in the ways I say, I'm saying that he chooses to do them in a certain way, rather than violate free will.

He could make it so that sex happened in such a way that it could never be unpleasant, and any party could leave at any time no matter what.

Unpleasantness has nothing to do with rape for the first part, and as for the second part, how would that work? The first thing that springs to mind is some form of teleportation, but then you've also just made murder and theft way easier to commit, so you've solved the problem of rape but now you have people asking why God gave people the power to teleport behind someone, stab them, and teleport away again.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that everything comes back to free will. There isn't a single action that cannot be abused and used for evil when you have free will. God values free will of humans more than anything.

He could have just made everything totally different to how it is now, so everything is awesome, and we're always happy. Current restrictions need never apply.

My contention is that it is impossible for everyone to always be happy when free will exists. When you have free will, you always have the ability to choose between doing good and doing evil, and at some point someone will choose to do evil.
