If I were God...

If I were God ...

I've been doing a lot of thinking lately.

• For one this whole idea that God did us a favor for giving us a free-will is overrated.  Meaning, I'm not so sure it was smart of God to bestow on us this privilege because some people don't know how to use this free-will concept properly.  What a waste of a beautiful world to allow free-will knowing that there will be some who will destroy this privilege by using it to do bad.  So, if I were God - the only will would be good-will.
• Aging - this process is so wrong.  The deterioration of a robust body, the aches, the pains, the drooping of flesh, the loss of mind, the loss of strength - why?  So, if I were God - we all would stop "aging" when we hit the age of say 40 - the body would remain suspended until our internal clock that would be wound up would stop ticking.  And when we hit the last tick we'd peacefully and without pain and suffering stop functioning.  Much like a wind up toy.  The only difference is that we'd go on to the next life, just like we do now.
• This whole idea of suffering. If the next world is the land of plenty, with eternal peace, love and joy - what's the point of having people suffer in this world - whether through illness, oppression, poverty etc.?  He would have saved a step in this process. Doesn't seem very efficient to me.  So, if I were God - I'd just cut to the chase and move us on to this eternal happy place from the start. And I know you might be thinking - well He was weeding out the troublemakers and the ones that didn't love and respect Him.  But we are told He's a loving and forgiving God.

Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for life and all that I have had the pleasure of experiencing it.  I could have done without some of the rough patches.  But, I'm a Heaven believer, and I believe God is loving - and I just find some of these things to be out of character.
