And why was that person not made in heaven?
Why do we need to 'prove ourselves' to a perfect being?
Why does a perfect being of love send people to Hell where they receive unimaginable torture and endure an eternity of incomprehensible pain?
Why would a being that knows everything want to create us and put us on Earth? He already knows the outcome.
Why does he care if we worship him? He is already perfect and so powerful he could conjure up eternal bliss for himself.
You can keep your cult of death and your master of fear.

Oh, you're serious.
It doesn't matter if I ask your questions, because you don't want to learn, don't want to know. You just want to argue that I'm wrong. But, if I say this and then don't answer your questions, you'll just say 'oh you're giving up I win'. So I will answer your questions.
Because humanity is inherently imperfect, we have to live an imperfect life on Earth.
We don't. God accepts us, but when we see how imperfect and flawed we are compared to this all-powerful, totally perfect, fully loving being, we can't be in His presence as we are, so we undergo a time of cleansing in Purgatory (A good parallel is: some big important person, idk and idc who, is coming to your house. But you are filthy. So you go have a bath or shower.) Conversely...
When someone who has lived an evil life sees, from a completely unbiased perspective, free from anything clouding their viewpoint in life, what they have done, they go 'my god what have I done', and decide that they are not good enough to ever be with God (which is, in fact, not true), and they go to Hell.
What outcome would there be if the events didn't even take place? And just because He knows the outcome, doesn't mean He chose it.
He doesn't. We willingly choose to give thanks to Him, because He created us, loves us all individually more than anyone has ever loved anything/one else, was willingly nailed to a cross for us, and constantly helps us in our lives. Any person of any religion can get into heaven. All that is required is a good life.
Ok, in response to that last one, it's clear you haven't the slightest clue what you're talking about.
Obviously, nothing I can say will sway you, so I might as well stop. All that was just so you don't go 'dur hurr you're giving up'.
