First, I didn't "choose" the religion because it suited my "needs", I found and accepted it because it made sense and was mainly what I had already come to believe before even finding it.
Second...that's the point Enoch...it's NOT logical. If the god you believe in knows the future, and creates souls and people and whatnot, then that god creates people to reject him. And THAT doesn't make sense. That is the FLAW of your belief of your god. I swear this is like talking to a wall.
God created you to be you. Not be evil or good. He wants us to be good, but he will not force us. You are here to live your life and exercise your free will in whatever way makes you happy. Yes there is consequences if you do not do it His way, but that is just the way it is. You just are afraid to accept the responsibility of your actions, that is why you want to be able to blame God for your mistakes.
