He wants us all to die. Your mother-in-law is no exception. Or are
you saying that he is powerless to change this? What does 'God is the
Almighty' mean then?

This is not mocking; this is holding you to your words. If the
result sounds like mocking, it is because what you are saying is absurd.

My question is why he would create humans who he knows will not do
the right thing, and then condemn them. Even if you want to consider
Free Will, your God certainly is smart enough to know that with the
limited wisdom he is giving these creatures, some will make bad
choices, and get condemned to Hell. Even many of the angels, who are
supposedly not bound by human frailties and physical temptations,
could not live up to your God's standards, and are now condemned to
Hell.
The point I'm making is pretty simple: if God is omnipotent, then
every single thing that he creates is exactly as he intended it to
be. Does this simple statement make sense to you?
