No. Let's not be obtuse on purpose. He "punishes us" (if you wanna call it that) for using our free will to do bad things instead of good things. We have the choice to go either way.
But you knew that. So I'm not sure what your complaint is...
I mean, would you rather us not have free will at all? Or have free will with 0 negative consequences of using the free will to do bad things?
Or maybe you are just looking for things to bitch about no matter what it was like.
There are a lot of things he considers bad that, empirically, are not bad. That's where the problem comes in. I would rather be treated as an equal than a slave. Modern secular societies are doing much better than theocratic dictatorships for good reason.
