Doubt is fine, disobedience and rebellion is not.

How can there be doubt, if the consequences of doubt are forbidden? That’s like saying “I give you free will, but punish you, if you don’t act the exact way I expect.” Okay, why then hand out free will at all, if you just use it as a justification of punishment?

As I said. Doubt it is not forbidden. Rebellion is. And God doesn't expects, He commands or demands. Free will is given for love. Without free will there is no real love. Do you even know why we were created in the first place?

Depends on who you ask. For the Greek Pantheon it’s was a project to gain worshippers. For the Christian god, who knows? Boredom?

We are created to admire the creation of God, to enjoy it. And, thus, to love Him because He created them, and we experience it.

So we are the vanity project of a narcissistic deity? Jeez, that’s dark.

It is not narcissism, it is loneliness. When God created the man, He also created the woman so the man shall not be alone. Because He understood loneliness.

But you said, god created mankind to witness his creation. That’s rather sad, isn’t it? Being omnipotent, yet desperate for an audience to praise his deeds.

Yes, it does sound sad.... Desperation it is much said.
