So is there really a such thing as wrong? No.

I didnt think infants had the ability to spite god.... yet there they are drowning in inches of water in a bucket. Lots of children die brutal deaths everyday.

I'm not following the logic here. We are the creation of a higher intelligence, which designed us perfectly, ergo we can do no wrong?
First assumption: That we are designed perfectly. I myself think humans are pretty flawed, but we've got great potential.
Second assumption: The creator designed us to fulfill its wants or needs. Maybe so, but maybe no. Perhaps it was really bored one day, then forgot about us. Maybe we are a science experiment in some cosmic lab. Or maybe the creator is watching everything we do with absolute fascination, like beautiful fish in an aquarium.
I believe absolutely there are things that are wrong. Killing others, stealing, intentionally harming others, etc. These things are inherently wrong.

The children got cancer due to natural causes. The creator did not zap them with the disease. Did you ever think that maybe if there was a creator he would choose not to interfere for whatever reason?

I think the creator would be beyond mind games. Our love or hate would be ineffective to the creator that created us for its own reasons... the creator also would know how are emotions exists and how we use them to get what we want.
