What is your view on benevolence of God? I think God cursed us and it may be true, but then should we expect heaven in afterlife or should we expect hell.
If everything is predestined then we are destined to play role of bad guys like satan and his demons that are seen as ugly, undesirable and evil by any god-loving man, and we exist only as contrast to people that are desirable in eyes of God.
But if there is no predestination and every person has free will then biological and political choices of our ancestors shaped us so God should reward us as compensation because we were never born free and all evil we make doesn't burden us morally.
Also God doesn't really promise anything, it seems he is malevolent demiurge because look, El, Yahweh is one of many Israelite deities worshipped, like Baal Hadad, Baal Hadad is God of male fertility, he gave people rain, crops, he gave men strength and made sex slaves out of foids, Baal even raped some foids himself. But our God never listens to prayers, he tests people endlessly, promises nothing but hell and damnation, wants people to be poor, wants men to be weak.
How would you morally justify it?
I know most mainstream view is that earthly pleasures are deceiving, but isn't it what actual demiurge would say to keep people miserable their whole life and then trap them in hell anyway? Wouldn't the true God give people what they want and give them heaven anyway? Why is there this moral ambiguity in religion that God who gives people everything must be evil and God that harms people must give them heaven as compensation.
