God wanted us to have freedom of choice...... However if we make the wrong choice then we are punished.... He gave Adam and eve the choice .... They choose wrong and were banished from the garden of Eden . You can be a very good person ... However if you do not believe and have faith in god then you can not go to heaven.... Talk about being a control freak. Freedom of choice ??? More like do as I say or I will not be your friend.... Bloody hypocrite .....
