What were the supposed good intentions?
1. God creates man and fallen angle/angel Satan boomerangs it with giving man free will.
2. Satan by giving man free will; man then creates religion/dogma to define God (or himself as a fixer).
3. God allows all sorts of religions (different areas to pop up) in order to give hope to these depressed areas.
4. God is totally innocent and had no idea of what was to come of this "enlightenment" experiment.
5. God knew exactly what IT was doing and allowed everything (WHY)?
6. God needs to have something to define it (humans) otherwise cannot understand what it is.
7. IT wants to be king of the world and the yoke is religion first; (not science as this method will never prove it).
8. Its all based in FAITH of a higher being and God is testing the human.
God gave mankind free will, not Satan. Satan tempted mankind to do evil and cut them off from their own awareness of God's presence.
Doesn't say much for his intelligent design achievements

Everything one knows about God is written down by man therefore God is not a religious nut - Man is.
God probably just has a really really bad headache from facepalming a lot.

I don't like to base God as from the Bible. But if I did, for instance with Genesis, I get angry that God just didn't forgive adam and eve. Perhaps even the supreme being known as God needed to evolve to a state of forgiveness. Therefore, now I can forgive God for allowing pain to be a characteristic of life.

Have you always been constant about religion and what you believe in? You haven't? God is billions of years older so you can't expect him to be consistent too, can you!
