Why you love good things, want perfection, yet you made evil successful because it is so much easier to do and helped set it up even, with the tree in the garden. Let them do sin without your help. In other words look how much easier it is to vandalize a window than to create a new glass, to rob someone instead of working at a job all week, to burn down a house as opposed to building one.

It ought be the other way around. You set fire to a house, only the board lit burns, you must light every single piece yourself. If something chose to do evil, with their free will, do not reward that being by giving him a whole planet of innocent people to then feed on, then say you just can’t stand evil. You are the one setting it up and helping it along the whole time. Why? Why do you not manage what you create and correct errors, like a father would? And I do plan to ask just that, too.

“Sir, the clerk of the court has read out the list of war crimes and crimes against humanity that you have been charged with. Please understand that you stand accused of multiple instances of genocide. At this time, you may enter a plea of guilty or not guilty to any or all of these charges. How do you plead?”

Really the only question I’d care to ask God. I don’t generally converse with genocidal maniacs.
