Essentially this world is full of sin and basically it is a test to see how determined you are which is why a lot of the good die young and most older generation world leaders are warmongering psychopaths.
That's not much of an answer, though, because now you have a god engineering a test that he doesn't need to instate, filled with suffering that he doesn't need to inflict, in order to bring people to a heaven that he has no reason not to just immediately send us all to.
If "it's just a social experiment" isn't an excuse that'd work for trolls on the internet, then it sure as hell shouldn't work for god.
Indeed. My mistake for responding with compassion to the OP. I should have just stated; "NO, A WISH THAT YOU COULD BELIEVE IN A DEITY IS NOT REASONABLE/LOGICAL" and continued the inevitable dogmatic drone... as if it mattered, and as if any of this life/universe/world/existence has a reasonable/logical meaning.
But go ahead, knock yourselves out.
