Actually, God designed a perfect world. However, he did give man a choice. And based on that choice there were consequences.
Do you presume that there should be no consequences for bad choices?
God already had angels. They were created to simply serve him. For whatever reason, he then created beings — us — that could choose. But despite allowing the choice, wrong choices were not to be left unchallenged.
And what are right choices are his decision, not ours.
Lord, save us from creating you in our image. What a pathetic God that is.
And as for your comment based on Jesus' "by their fruit you will know them," to apply it to God is to duck your responsibility and blame someone else. You might as well be Job's wife and suggest that we curse God and die. Besides, where were you when God laid the foundation of the universe?
