Is it because of original sin in the garden, a test which god set up knowing (it is all knowing) that they would fail? If so then humans were less than a perfect creation which would make god imperfect.

Do they think all humans go to heaven? It's not what I was taught.

It's hard to refute beliefs based no basically nonsense, especially ignorant beliefs/believers. My bet is somewhere along the line 'free will and mysterious ways' will make an appearance.

Bold mine

Why does an all powerful all knowing god FORCE people into an existence where it/god knows before a person conceived if they will suffer or burn for all eternity or stay buried in the grave until jesus returns blowing his horn?
