On a similar note, why doesn't God just kill everyone right now and take us all to Heaven without us having to live less-than-perfect lives on Earth?

Free will!

What does free fill have to do with not being killed?

As I understand the term, "free will" means that your thoughts and actions are your own, and not controlled by God. This doesn't rule out any other meddling by God.

It was a joke; I was parroting a typical Christian response that all evil, including natural evil, is because of free will.
