We were indeed given free will..It is the individuals choice to commit a crime ie rape murder etc. We were given the choice between right and wrong, greed and humility. Don't we fight for our own personal freedoms everyday?
And when that day is done, I believe it is written that we will face 'tests' on Earth. We must prove ourselves to be worthy. I guess the question is, is who must we prove ourselves to? God? Or our own morality. I take the latter anyday.
As for Heaven on Earth, well Im sure different people have their own ideas of what 'Heaven' will be.

Personally, I am not a believe in God. However, I have studied somewhat on the subject, and if you want to know the answers to these questions, then maybe you should also be asking, Why did we forsake his only son and allow him to be crucified on the cross? If I believed in the scriptures, I would also have to take responsibility for having let Him down.... Lets face it, and Im one of them, people turn their backs on God everyday.

We are given the tools, it is up to us on how we use them.
Was a nice piece Liba, heartfelt..its always good to question
