If I was an Intelligent Designer and could make a living thinking person with the ability to be ungrateful, recalcitrant and blasphemous, I'd probably also give him the gift of self determination.

A paranoid Intelligent Designer! I think I'd prefer it the way it is, I'm just not comfortable with paranoids.

Re: A paranoid Designer!
Sorry, I don't follow. Why would actually taking care to make a great creation imply that the ID was paranoid?
​
Why, as an all knowing designer, would you be afraid of making humans with all their failings (each have their own)? Afraid of rebellion? ungratefulness? blasphemy?

​
No, I'm asking you why you, if you were an Intelligent Designer, would be afraid of making every human imperfect?
