A God that is all knowing & all powerful in some arbitrary sense that allows Him to do anything at any time, a God that can easily smite evil doers, would necessarily be responsible for allowing evil to exist & to go uncorrected. There would be good reason to hate such a being.

But if God is reality, or the underlying laws that bring reality into existence, then those who deny God are responsible for evil. And salvation would only be possible through knowledge & acceptance of God.

Both concepts of God could accurately be described as all knowing, all powerful, & infinite, but IMO only one of them makes any sense.

1. If he is all powerful and all knowing then why didn’t he make a perfect system by which we perform perfectly (aka robots)? Thus freedom allows us the ability to love/hate God. Technically Adam & Eve were close to perfect humans but they had Free Will and chose the knowledge of good and evil (that’s the point of the story).

What creator would want to make a robot that loves them unconditionally? In order to prevent this you would have to remove yourself from responsibility of the decisions your creation makes. It would be pointless and stupid to do otherwise. Even dogs (man’s best friend) don’t love people unconditionally.

2. If Satan exists then those that deny God are not responsible for evil… Satan is. God created Satan and man. The Bible displays sin as being pushed by Satan (a fallen angel) in the form of a serpent.

If God is reality then there is no life after death and there is no point to good or evil. It only stands to change the reality for others based on your decisions.

Reality/Time&Space≠God

Without God there is no good or evil.

We are accomplices to Satan when we piss in God’s garden.

Those who deny reality create hell. Satan is the most fallen because he believed he was God, he is the most deluded. Similarly Gates & Soros & others with a God complex regularly do things to create hell on earth. That pattern seems pretty clear IMO.

Being the laws that bring all that is into existence & gives rise to intelligent beings which can seek to know Him is pretty perfect if you ask me. It's at least not a failure until existence ends or whatever intelligence there is ceases to be.

I think the story of the fall is more about the beginning of consciousness & how things often get harder when we become conscious of them, before they can get better or easier. But it's kind of an inevitable thing. In order to develop proper aim & to achieve our full potential we have to miss quite a bit first.
