Why would a creator deity create the human brain and then punish those who use it?

Question

Blind allegiance doesn't require thought nor the ability to think.

Answer 1

He/she/it wouldn't. However, one can certainly understand the motivation for Bronze Age scam artists to convince people that they would be punished for thinking too much about the bullshit story they were being told.

Answer 2

You are not using your brain.  Your mind is blind to God and you won't open it up enough to see Him.

Answer 3

As is evidenced by this site (and this question), fewer and fewer people are using their brain.

Answer 4

Well just look at what we use it for!  We strive for power and money and growth.  We're destroying ourselves.  Don't blame God for our own stupid and selfish choices.  

Answer 5

I don't think it is the "Creator"  it's the "creatorees" or "cretins"  who say that....

Answer 6

A classic example of "bait and switch."

Answer 7

You are so right ! God gave us a brain & the ability to choose because he doesn't want relationships with  robots !

Answer 8

Either because the creator is a s****t who enjoys opunishing people for drawing the obvious conclusions given the evidence.. or because there was no creator.

That's the only logical answer.

Answer 9

God command need to follow, just like one must stop when the light is red.

Answer 10

He wouldnt.  And it is YOU with the closed mind.  But thanks for playing.
