YHWH seems to run into that problem often. Make a creation, give it a conscious, give it free choice, give it absolutely no instructions, directions or guidance (other than a few vague appearances) … then blame his creation for all their bad choices and burn them all to hell for an eternity for a few decades of bad behavior.
Maybe it was by design … after all, what do you do with eternity? after a billion years of day in day out just existing? Maybe we’re the millionth iteration of his creations and after making a dozen ‘perfect’ worlds, it got boring so they decided to mix things up by creating this messed up reality for shits and giggles.
I’ve actually considered that exact scenario. In which case the Christian interpretation is dickish, but I get a deist interpretation without the addition of hell. How many fascinating stories do we create as YHWH’s little ant farm? In which case I understand it, but it’s also definitely not an omnibenevolent thing to do lmao
I like playing Minecraft to just relax once in a while … create a random world, start from scratch and build it up until you got nothing left to do. Hit save, forget about it and start again. I’ve got dozens of saved worlds now.
Maybe this reality is just another game save that this teenaged eternal being created and forgot about.
Or childlike behavior … a being that created something not knowing their own power and not understanding what they did so they decide to abandon it all when it’s no longer fun to play with

Don’t forget omniscience. God knew that shit was gonna happen and still did that shit.
I mean, he’s directly responsible for all genocide, hunger, disease, and human suffering. Fucking dick ass.
Bad design on his part, really.
These guys were purposefully trying to get out of bounds. I think it’s understandable.

It’s a very human like behavior, like drowning your Sims in a pool to entertain yourself
