A few questions regarding this:
1. Did God create everything in the universe? Because if he indeed did, he must also be the one who created the serpent, sin and all the bad stuff too.
2. If we indeed have free will, why aren't we free to think and do whatever? Having the ultimatum of eternal suffering versus worshiping God doesn't seem too free at all to me.
3. If sin is a product of man, why didn't God design man better?
4. Why do God care how a human lives her life? What is it to him if she wears polyester and cotton together or isn't a virgin when she gets married?

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
