There can be no acceptance without the ability to reject. Consent is meaningless without the capacity for dissent.

If god is all-powerful, then that is a choice, not a natural restriction.

So the answer is “because god is a jerk”?

Couldn’t he have created the world in a way where all that is not necessary? Or one where there would be no bad choices?

Seems kinda evil on his part to design for the option of evil.
