All the rights belong to the creator not the created. Your problem is you want to tell God that He made you wrong, that will hold no water later on. You the clay pot got mad at the creator and put a hole in yourself and there went the water.
Ah, wrong-o!
Even within the bounds of your theology, god didn't create me. My parents did. God is responsible for precisely two human beings; Adam and Eve. The rest, by definitional fiat of your appeals to free will, are not under the control of god. They can't be. If they were, then my parents would have had no free will in the act of conceiving me, and you've reduced your god to a pervert making people have sex for his amusement.
God might have created my attendant component parts, but he's no more responsible for the act of creation than the guy who sells the paints, or the clay. The actual analogy would be like the art supplies clerk telling the artist what to make out of the stuff he legitimately bought.
Besides, I'm not clay, I'm a living, breathing person. Why is it that you wouldn't accept my parents burning me for disobedience, but you'll happily bend over backwards for a supposedly perfect moral source to do the same?
