<< Robert, I detect cynisym in your post that a perfect God could create imperfect people >>

God created a magnificent world!!! You have to agree. What a creation of beauty! He created man and women to be imperfect, either with diseases, or to be gay, or to have some genetic defect. We cannot question his reasons, but we can marvel at the creation.

<< Just goes to show you that he created us with free will. >>

I agree. Free will is one of the most important parts of creation. Of course not everyone is blessed with free will. And, for those that are blessed with free will, there are many different types of free will, depending upon one's genetic makeup. This makes His creation that much more marvelous!

<< He did not want automations of himself but gave freedom of choice so that we would choose to love him based on what he did for us. >>

God gave us free will, but that free will is different for each person based on the genetic makeup. For instance, some people are unable to experience love. Some people are unable to experience compassion for others. It all depends upon what God put into your genes.

<< until Satan came ... the beauty of satan >>

I only believe in one God. Thus I have to reject the concept of a Satan. But, I respect your choice to believe in such a evil god.

Regards, Bob
