Why would a perfect being make an imperfect world?
RE: Why would a perfect being make an imperfect world?
I've never understood how people can justify, in their own minds, that an all powerful, all knowing deity, somehow needs to test its creations.

It KNOWS what the people are thinking, supposedly, and what their actions will be.

Testing us for our own benefit, is another argument I've encountered. Same points: it would know how the humans would respond, making any tests a complete waste of time.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"
