Slightly off-topic, but relevant...
Ever read Lucifer comics?
It's in the same universe as The Sandman.
I bring it up here because in the course of the story, Lucifer gets his own creation parallel to the original one. He makes it just like our own world and creates a garden of eden with two humans in it. He gives them one decree: They're not allowed to worship or bow down to anything, including himself (Lucifer). It's an interesting twist when one of god's angels shows up as a serpent and tempts the humans into worshipping.
Lucifer ends up destroying the two humans for breaking his rule. Later on, he creates more humans and they make vast civilizations under the same rule: none of them are allowed to worship. Lucifer also opens up portals all over the place so that humans from the original creation can come and join his creation.
I imagine I'd do something very similar.
I'd create an endless universe full of wonder and make human beings energy-based instead of carbon based. I would give them free will, but eliminate suffering. They'd be capable of understanding and feeling the breath of human emotions, but they'd be creatures of nearly pure thought capable of traveling to any point in my universe instantaneously. (None of this trapped on one planet retardation...)
Instead of being tied to the existence of evil / suffering, free will would be tied to procreation. Human beings would need to seek me out and ask me to make another human being for them to raise & shape on their own. Those who don't like me / don't choose me would be free to go about their endless existences as they wish. They can even hate me and curse me and spite me. I care not: They simply cannot have children.
Oh, and all humans would have the ability to telepathically link to all other humans and communicate wordlessly regardless of distance. None of this language barrier sillyness.
