Free will incoming...
I've explained this a million times before, but we can still have free will without being able to do horrible things to each other or get hideous diseases. We already have extremely limited free will. In fact, our will could be massively opened up to include all manner of things currently impossible, while losing the ability to hurt each other. Everyone wins.
If people for some reason wants to suffer, they could have the free will to have that suffering for as long as they wanted it. If it never existed in the first place, why would they want it though?
We would, of course, also be unable to get bored (unless we want to). So there goes that defence.
I'm not saying I'd do a better job than God. I'm saying I'd do a much better job.
I wouldn't have the egotistical obsession with them having to worship or "accept" me either. But even if I did, they could reject me without having to prove the point by impaling babies.
