Evidence for the existence of God

(1) Oh, then you were just being a smartass?
(2) You parents did not have the ability to make it so that eating candy all day made you grow up big and strong, and that you were fireproof, and that jumping in front of a bus won't leave you as a stain on the pavement. It's not a threat, it's a warning. But God's warning is warning you about a threat he can presumably put an end to, but for some reason chooses not to.

In short, he's asking "Why would God make it so that I'll go to Hell if I don't follow His rules?" and you reply, "Why are there rules?" EXACTLY.

Well, lets look at it logically. If I created an android that meant to be able to learn how to read through visual character recognition, but it was taking too long to figure it out, and so I plugged in a computer and started reading the book myself and punching it directly into the programming, what would I have accomplished? Nothing.

Do you you know the steps to always winning or getting a tie in tic tac toe? If so, would you want to play that game over and over again? you always win, so what purpose does it have?

God created us with free will, we have the ability to fail or succeed, because it is through choice that there is any purpose to anything. If he just put us straight into heaven, then we would have never had a chance to make a choice, and if we'd get into heaven no matter what choice we made, then any choice we made would be pointless.
