Yes he did, and it all went wrong there too oddly from the creatures who knew him the best, they decided he wasn't worth worshiping.
Quote:So, the choice facing God was:
1. Create, which rewards those who love him, but punishes those who hate him or want nothing to do with him; or
2. Not create, which rewards those who hate him or want nothing to do with him (as they avoid eternal punishment), but punishes those who love him (as they miss out on eternal happiness.)
That's the point, if people (souls) are created at conception no one misses out on anything except god of course who would rather create a majority who will suffer eternal punishment. Those who don't come into existence miss out on nothing at all.
So my question remains, why didn't god stop pro-creation after the fall ?

Don't you mean the ones who you scare shitless enough into loving you, and do as you say.

The idea that a being who can construct an entire universe actually did it so he could spend eternity with a bunch of glorified monkeys who behaved the way he likes is so fucking asinine, it's hilarious.
And people kill each other over this shit.
That people who claim it's a fairy tale spend valuable time discussing it is even more hilarious. And don't bother saying it's because of the real world impact of religious belief, as this site isn't changing jack shit.
Well no because we see lives lost over religion on an almost daily basis, we see kids taught that the world started 6,000 to 10,000 years ago, we see scandal after scandal, abuse after abuse by the the church your imaginary god loves so dearly.
Actually these sites do change jack shit, I was a Christian for many years and I thank the people who kept at me, made me challenge what now I see as a delusion. Maybe one day you will wake up and see the light too
