It's just hilarious that everything that IS pleasurable is deemed as sin in the Bible. That sounds more like it's nothing more than a way to control the masses. It just fits well with the human psyche that always wants more. Like on a game show, the person can either walk with the $5000 or jeopardize that money for more money or a better prize. Of course, you're going to get people to follow that way.

What love? The fact that he's using us as pawns in a game with Satan over our souls? What about the horrible things he's done to mankind, apparently "His" greatest and most prized creation (ie. Flood, Sodom & Gomorrah, Job, etc...)? "I love my car, so let me hit it with a brick."

Plus, I can't possibly imagine that a just God would allow billions of people to suffer for eternity because they failed to believe in the correct faith. I'm supposed to believe that a collection of books, written by man, is somehow the absolute truth and somehow inerrant, and if I don't, I am damned for eternity? Give me a break.

Either Christians/Muslims/Jews are mistaken about the identity of their Creator or their Creator doesn't exist.

God does not commit evil on man, the enemy does. Everyone is in a spiritual war. And the Bible says, one way or another, every man and woman has had the opportunity to accept faith of Jesus Christ, just like you have had yours.
When you say pleasures of this world do you mean sex, alcohol, and drugs, etc..? God designed sex, and he wants man to have sex, but with only one other human (your wife) of the opposite gender. Hence when people have sex with multiple humans, disease spreads and people's lives are screwed up, simply because God did not design sex to operate that way. As for alcohol and drugs, etc.., what pleasurable outcome do they result in? Sure you can live in the moment for a while, but even by earthly standards, they are destructive and life ruining
The Bible is absolute truth, it is also infallible, but I do not believe it is inerrant. I believe the human authors have made mistakes, but these mistakes do not contradict the ultimate message that God is trying to get across.
If we are meant to be controlled pawns, than why didn't God create robots? Why would he instill free choice? Have you read the story of the flood, or Soddom and Gomorrah? These people had no spiritual guidance or discernment, so God's wrath was thrown upon them. Man is not designed to sin, man is designed to worship God, and when man refuses to do so, he is bestowing punishment on himself.
