Go back one step. God gave us the choice and, being omniscient and eternal, knew how we would choose and knew what the consequences of that would be in the end. Remember, God knew at the time of Adam, before the Apple, that some years later he would be killing everybody in the world except for Noah and his family.
This has been a problem for a long time. Ascribing to your deity the attributes of omniscience, omnipotence and pure benevolence conflicts with the bad in the world. Strike any one of those three and there is no more conflict. It required some pretty torturous logic to attempt to reconcile all three.
It is benevolence, for sure, that caused Him to give us the absolute right to make the choice. WE make our OWN choices, and a sizeable number of us would make the same choice again. There are many who “don’t need no steeking “diety”.” Right?
There are even Christians who don’t realize that NO ONE is “thrown into hell” or DRAGGED into heaven. We CHOOSE and get to either on our own steam.
