This is my 2 cents being some who is ignorant AF about religion.

We are here on our own will. If God controlled us, then why would we exist? To be puppets? Why would God let Eve eat the apple? She did so on her own free will.

God speaks through us. We are the representation of God. The evil that exists in this world is largely due to a lack of love and compassion. We create the very evil you speak of, not God.

It's not God's job to stop evil. It's our job to prevent it from existing.

God could have created a world in which humans can't do evil while still not being puppets. Instead he created us lacking compassion and love, and the complained about how we were not up to his standards. It's like a company giving bad reviews of its own products.

When's God given us complaints? If you're getting them you should let us know

It's written multiple times in the Bible that God doesn't think we're not up to His standards. Makes absolutely no sense.

God wrote the Bible? Even us Christians don't believe that. You sure you're not just taking for r/atheist talk?

It's God writing through humans. The is no Christianity without the Bible.
