Why did God not create a world in which everyone freely believes the Gospel and is saved?

possible answer: It may not be feasible or preferable for God to create such a world. If such a world were feasible and did not have overriding decencies, God would have created it. But given His will to create free creatures, God had to accept that some would freely reject Him and His every effort to save them and be lost.

Why does he punish his creations for acting the way he created them, again?

Isn't Hell really bad though, and it goes on for eternity? Is freedom in this life really worth risking that? Personally I say no, I'm willing to be intimidated if it means I get some clarity on the God thing.

I can't find the quote, but as I recall either the Bible itself or some Christian authority said that God will punish insincere faith. So, if you're playing the part of a Christian to game it, whoops, it's off to the ovens with you.
