1.) Because it pleased Him.
2.) Because He loves them.
3.) I do not know why, you'll have to ask Him.
4.) God created an angle and this one decided he would turn on his creator, Satan made himself and freewill is the rest of the story.
5.) Because it's true and no matter how much you rant and rave you can not change that fact.

#1 - So perfection isnt pleasing? Perfection isnt good enough so he needed more? I would think perfection would also include 100% pleasing, 100% satisfaction..apparently you have a very LOW idea of perfection, which makes sense now that I mention it.
#2 - He created something because he loved them before he created them? We are talking about BEFORE your mythological yahweh created the universe right?
#3 - Yeah..but you sure are making a list of why he did it arent you?
#4 - God needs help? God is all knowing and created an angel he knew would turn against him and not please him? Thats like me straping a bomb to my chest, setting it to detonate in 5 minutes, then getting mad that the bomb is going to blow up and hurt me. If your god exists then he is one seriously desturbed individual.
#5 - It isnt true, and if it is then I would not trust a single promise given by this hutty god of yours.

1.) For someone that's suppose to know much about scripture you show little evidence of it. God's creation was perfect until Satan and man introduced sin into it and with it's corrupting force sin has brought God's creation to it's present state. You are in a sense correct about my idea of perfection that's why God provided me with a savior, your ideas of perfection are no better than mine.
2.) YES! He is omnipresent and omniscient. YES! Just because you can not love something before you recieve possession of it does not mean God is limited to your inadequacy.
3.) Stating what I see to be factual.
4.) God needs no help. Satan can not hurt God, read the book of Job and see God's power over Satan. Straping a bomb to your chest to prove a point makes you no more sane than those who do it to hurt others. God created other beings to love and to recieve love from them, the love that comes from us must be genuine and for this to be God gave us freewill.
5.) It's true no matter how desperate you are to try and prove otherwise. I've been trusting Him for sometime now and He has yet to fail. I know you'll never be able to understand this, trusting God falls under His will and knowing the best one can about His will aids one in trusting Him and understanding how God keeps His promises and answers prayer.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
