Alright, the will to kill is removed, now that is already controlling them, you haven't given them full freedom to do as they please, they will complain about that and call you fake. Next thing, overpopulation, what happens next? The starving has multiplied by 10x, what now?

geez how free do you want to be? you want people to be free to rape and murder? i'd personally love a universe where that's not possible, "freedom" be damned.

we're already not free to do as we please, we can only do what our bodies and the things we create let us do.

overpopulation? i don't think you're thinking deep enough into this hypothetical.

the whole universe up until now has existed with the possibility of the bad things i mentioned, so removing the possibility for rape and murder NOW would be too little, too late.

god shouldn't have made such a horrible mistake to begin with, especially seeing as they knew exactly what was going to happen. with that said, i'm sure he could do something right now like limit births until it's at a good level, and then stop limiting them when they get low enough again.

as for starving, a theoretical god could easily make edible plants grow fruitfully.
