Recently a friend said they don't believe in a Creator because they could make a better reality

So I asked what they really know about reality. They didn't say but asked what I knew. I said I don't know enough to say I could do better. Of course they meant if they made reality it would be all good. Why do people believe a life of purely good would have any meaning?

Not with the raw materials on offer, you couldn't. People actively choose evil. If you were God, what would you do with them? Constantly manage their lives for them? What a headache.

@Alyosha exactly. Then why create it if all you are going to do is control it
