So says you. If god is omnipotent, why couldn't he make it so mindless robots were more pleasing to him? Why do we need to have free will to be pleasing to god? Answer: we don't, but that's the way the world is. We live with the illusion of free will, so you naturally consider it the best option since your perfect god made it that way. Why did he make it that way though, if his creations had the potential to rebel? And my other question, which you conviently ignored, is what prevents god from sinning?
