Most perfume ads are utter depravity, but not this one!:

Enjoy the fragrance of TULIP! The perseverance of the scents will beguile you!

So you imagine a god who created beings - by no fault of their own - to suffer the torments of hell for all eternity.

God chooses whomever he pleases and passes over the rest. That is an evil god.

No. We are ALL sinful and worthy of hell. You've gotten angry with someone? That is a sin. Looked lustfully at someone? Sin. Lied? Sin. As God's justice demands punishment, THAT is why we need a Saviour! In His mercy, He sent JESUS to die in our stead; THAT is His mercy!

If you design your own universe and then implement your design, you’ll have to decide who is good and who is evil.

You can design it so that everyone goes to heaven, even the most evil people.

Then there really would be no difference between good and evil in your universe.

In any case, your design will be a reflection of you.

Don’t read any satire into it; it’s pure pun and wordplay.

No, it's not

Matthew 5:22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, 'Raca,' is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, 'You fool!' will be in danger of the fire of hell.

Hmm—So Jesus wasn’t sinless after all since he was pretty angry as He cleared out the temple (John 2).

Do I see by your posts that you are a Roman Catholic ?

Ephesians 4 got it wrong also.

Precisely. A common misreading of Calvin jumps from omniscience to predestination without so much as a breath. They are not the same. God cannot be surprised but He can be disobeyed.
Knowing (precognition of) the choice you will make does not make Him happy with your choice. It remains, however, your choice.

“With someone” (your words) does not equal “brother or sister” (Scripture).
