| The reason God seems so cruel to those who believe is because he gives humans freewill. Free will, in theory at least, gives people a choice to do what is in God's favor or not to. God grants that gift (unless you're a Calvinist) and it creates the human condition. His "love" was this freedom, and he seems to hope that you still take his moral guidelines to heart, otherwise the devil will convert that freewill into immorality and you'll have to suffer in hell. |
