Gods plan is flawed as is the concept of god itself!

This thread is concerned specifically with the Christian concept of salvation and only the Christian god and his place in that plan. Before I begin I would like for you to think of one important attribute that is given to the Christian god as it is relevant to the subject at hand, namely: omniscience. According to CatholicReference.net Ominscience is defined as: God's knowledge of all things. Revelation discloses that the wisdom of God is without measure (Psalm 146:5). And the Church teaches that his knowledge is infinite.

In my opinion the first flaw in gods plan was endowing man with free will, because by doing so he is setting mankind up to fail and not be able to live up to his ridiculous standards of morality (this is not very wise on the part of an all-knowing god). The bible describes original sin Genesis 2:17 as being the result of the many calamities that mankind faces today and for all the rest of his days here in this life. Gods solution was to destroy mankind and start over with the one family he considered just among men (Noahs family). But this so called solution is flawed in that if what the bible teaches about sin being inherent in us is true, then he has failed to eradicate sin and it continues to plague mankind. I guess after realizing his mistake he instituted the system of blood sacrifices to atone for the sins of man by the sacrificing of animals who vicariously died in our place Exodus 29:36. But that did not work either Hebrews 10:4 so he sent his son Christ as the ultimate remedy and eternal fix for the sins of mankind John 3:16, and 1 John 1:7. But this redemption of sin was contingent upon your believing in Christ and his sacrifice on the cross.

So even the sacrifice of Christ was unsuccessful in eradicating man from the sins of Adam. Now keeping in mind what I said initially about God and omniscience, this in my view was very poor planning and hardly the work of such a supreme and perfect being that the bible claims god to be. The very idea of the existence of a god in the Christian sense makes no sense at all. All of the attributes of god are logically impossible and are outright self contradictory of one another. Gods plan was flawed and so is the idea and concept of the Christian god.

I would love to hear opinions from atheist and Christians alike, but please spare me the philosophical arguments of absurdity that lead to nothing more than more absurdities.

shared Assumptions:
1- Ok if God exists, he is omniscience. Agreed definition of omniscience.
2-Man has free will. Agreed definition of free will.
3-Morality is lacking in Man, God is not. Agreed definition of societal morality as an axiomatic morality universal to conscious entities.
4-This aspect of omniscience is relatable to God's plan. Agreed subjectivity of "God's plan".

A- Question: If God's plan is so perfect, why does he have to punish us to get us to believe?
B- Question: Why did God give us free will if it was only to set mankind up to fail and not be able to live up to his ridiculous standards of morality?

If that above is all correct I'll take a shot at it.
A. - Take the analogy of a father to his child (which is a biblical one). If I were to create a son (which I did), he were to have no knowledge of this universe and would have to learn to distinguish and define things. Red = red =/= blue. Now A&E had no discernment (read knowledge of good and evil) before they chose to disobey God. They had defines lion=lion and tree=tree, but prior to the tree they were all creations of God with equal value, no discernment as to better or worse, just a definition. We disobeyed God by choosing curiosity over acceptance. This added discernment to definition. Now we saw things as red = red = bad. This rebuking of God also seperated us from God's plan thus kicking off the first act of defiance by free will. Punishment in this case is a seperation of God and reliance on subjective discernment. Belief is a choice and when you choose not to believe and to figure it out for yourself you are responsible for the consequences. I can tell my son that prostitutes are illegal and carry disease. If he chooses to go try for himself, I didn't make him verify what I was saying, he didn't chose the path of acceptance. I don't punish him, I go get him from jail and take him to the doctor and hope that he's leaned from his experience.

B-free will described in A allows us to learn how to be like God. If he created perfect little beings with all the knowledge of right and wrong we would have no discernment as to what to attribute it to. We're learning what constantly what's right and wrong and what's true and false. I'd personally prefer not to be an automaton with no ability to reason or discern.
