Suffering

[Godscreated]

Let's get this out of the way there is no nearly He is perfect. God did not make these situations happen to do so He would have had to create sin and He did not do that. Sin came into existence through Satan's disobedience and came into the creation by mans disobedience. Thus suffering was the result. You keep saying that God kills babies yet you say nothing about the millions of babies that are aborted every year. If God were the total controlling being you say He should be then this would not happen and the freedom of choice would be gone. So do you want to do away with a womans right to choose I do not see God doing that. By your logic God should stop this and do away with freedom of choice.

Why did God create Satan, knowing he would disobey? Why does God then punish us for the sin which he presumably allowed? What's so good about freedom of choice, for that matter, and why couldn't God have given us freedom of choice, but eliminated all natural evil?

Your god seems more and more ethically dubious by the day.

Well if you do not think freedom of choice is important then you do not hold your freedom in high reguard. God did not create Satan He created Lucifer the most beautiful of all the angels and the most powerful archangel. Lucifer made Satan by his disobedience. God allowed him to do this because He wants all created beings to love Him with out being forced in any way (what kind of love would love be if forced, I say it's no love at all) then He allowed Adam and Eve to make the same choice. Freewill is one of the greatest gifts given to us by God, if He had not then we would be no more than puppets and I for one believe that to be a horrible existence. The reason God did not eliminate evil is so we could see the love He has for mankind the love He gives us in having freedom of choice. By the way if God had eliminated evil then where is there a choice.
