Looks like God = ego.

Think about this: God creates man, man makes things better or worse on earth not perfect hu, man creates machines they are good but not perfect so man is not perfect & so on up & down the chain.

Wow, i never thought of it that way. How did God create the devil. And then could not control him. Then cast him to earth with mortals and he corrupted them. But this one lady has many of the answers i am looking for. She points out many of the thing that you are discovering: www.atheistdefine.com.

If you look and read some of her discoveries you may see more, your mind is headed in the right direction.

It's always funny to me, that Radical Christians say that God created EVERYTHING in the world. Everything is simple word. It means EVERYTHING!! But for some reason, they think he DIDN'T create sin. God could have easily created humans NOT to sin. He's God. HE can do anything. Not sure why some people try to deny that he created sin.

We are perfect too. We aren't perfect people, but each one of us is the perfect ME. We are all perfect in our own way. God clearly created sin. That's NOT BAD thing. If a person didn't suffer through heart break, stress, pain, suffering, then we wouldn't know all the happiness traits. We wouldn't be able to grow and mature and love fully.

Its OUR choice. Again OUR OUR OUR OUR choice. To grow and love more and more. Or to sin more and more. We make OURSELVES.

If a being is perfect, they are omnipotent.
If they are omnipotent, they can perform any action.
Creating an imperfect species is an action.
Therefore, if a being is perfect, they can create an imperfect species.

That still doesn't mean that a god actually exists, though.
