I never quite understand why God gets the blame for all the wrongdoing, human cruelty, bloodshed, and the like. What would you like God to do? Thwart all the plans of evildoers at the last minute (solving nothing really and creating a whole subclass of frustrated evildoers)? Not allow anyone to even think an impure or evil thought? Make us all exactly alike with an inability to imagine something different (including evil)? Besides a boring existence for us (except we wouldn't know it) it would be frustrating for God as well. Why? Because He wants us to choose to do right when choosing wrong is an equally viable option. He wants us to love and appreciate His constant goodness in a world where we are all too often fickle and whimsical with our love. Certainly God could make us obey Him but that kind of obedience is certainly not very satisfying to Him any more than it is to me with my son. I get ever so much more joy when my son chooses to obey me because he loves me.
