Yup. The common answer to "why does evil exist" is that humans have free will.
Therefore it follows that if there is no sin in heaven, there is also no free will.
Ssshhh, you're not supposed to actually think it through!
Or you know, it's almost impossible to make an evil choice, and the chances get smaller over time. Or you only have good choices.
Then it seems awfully cruel to design this life otherwise.
Indeed. Gods, in general, being huge assholes - well, it would explain a lot.
I like the malevolent creator theory. But it's most likely that since the universe runs on entropy, it just optimizes for misery as a side-effect.
