What does being "good" have to do with living forever? This seems to be what you think would happen if humans were "good". Moral behavior (what I assume you're getting at here) is only tangentially related to the relative length of out biological cycle of life. Like [nearly] everything other living thing, we eventually deteriorate and die. you could be the best person on the face of the Earth, from a moral perspective, and you'd still die.
You seem to think that this is a statement of fact. It isn't. For this to be accepted as fact, you'd have the task on your hands of providing sufficient evidence that The Bible is true, and for that to be the case, that God exists.
This statement doesn't even make sense. Are you saying that humans are composed of "sin?" This is unclear at best, idiotic at worst.
Humans are far from the "most superior beings available." I don't believe there is any such thing as a "most superior" being.
That a great many things are beyond human control does not imply that any other being is necessarily in control of them. What if the governing forces of the universe as they are are the only thing that is "in control" of all of this? This is even more plausible than your God, because these forces can be demonstrated to exist - which is leaps and bounds beyond what is capable of being demonstrated of your God.
By whose standards would they be judged "imperfect?" Human standards? Who cares what humans think? Seriously now. Why does it matter what humans think of everything that exists? Do you know who cares what humans think? Humans. That's where it ends. Nothing/no one else cares what humans think. The virus doesn't care what you think as it invades your cells and converts them into little virus factories. The sun doesn't care as it bakes you in the desert and causes you to die of thirst. The fly doesn't care that you prefer pizza to dog poop. "Good" and "bad" are entirely subjective. Just because you like or don't like something does not make it "good" or "bad", nor does it make it "perfect" or "imperfect." You need to expand your horizons. Stop thinking like you for a minute and recognize some different perspectives for what they are: just as valid as yours. That the fly likes to eat poop is just as valid as the fact that you like to eat pizza. It is... there is no denying this. To do so is to admit that you are a fool.
And the fly (if he thought like you) would thank God for dog poop, or even a human corpse to feed on. Just think about that.
What does knowing what you look like have to do with anything? Is this seriously something you think is of prime importance? Seriously??
Again, house flies are simply in love with our fecal matter. One man's trash is another's treasure. Are flies "evil?" Or is it just that they lack the ability to discern human fecal matter as "evil" like you do?
With this you're saying that God created viruses to ensure that humans die. That is exactly what you are saying. "The force of goodness" you have already equated with God earlier in the post, and you are saying that these diseases were "put in place" by the powers of good to "ensure that evil continues to die." Whatever happened to your assertion that "God is the force responsible for the good things."? Where's that now? Forget about that one? Or is this you admitting that God is responsible for both the "good" and the "evil?" And again... these things aren't "good" or "evil" in any meaningful sense. Only from the perspective of humans... and humans are just the tiniest drop in the bucket of the universe... almost not even worth mentioning... unless you happen to be human.
