So you do agree if people are watched they tend to refrain from evil
Well, that bring back my first point. To create truly interesting things, you have to put in less restrictions, so basically the creation is so perfect they are capable of their own doing.
Could God remove the underlying cause for Evil? I mean, like psychological or other mental disorders? Isn't he a healer?
Not the underlying cause for evil, if you remove that then we are back to square one, i.e. all computers and no soul, which is not good. No one wants to replace humans with computers.
To the second question, mental or physical disorders, I believe if we fully trust Him and put faith in God, He will heal such disorders (if it is not against His plans).
That is not what I said. Not sure which statement of mine caused you to think that. My original quote is below:Not sure I agree that people without mental disorders are computers.

Yes, in reply to

Maybe you think that I implied people without mental issues does not sin? That is totally not the case, as Christianity believe (at least most believe) all people are sinners.Not sure I agree that people without mental disorders are computers.

Still not sure why my response below made you think of

Ok, I'll try to explain.
I asked if God could remove the underlying cause for evil in this world, like mental health issues that is a contributing factor to people commiting violent crimes.
Your answer to that is that it would make people computers if he did that.
I don't view mental health issues as underlying causes for evil. People does not became evil due to mental health issues. I think mental health issues actually reduces evil, as the smarter someone is, the more capable of him/her of doing evil.
The main underlying causes for evil are human's desires for money and power. As the Bible says, the love of money is root of all evil (1 Timothy 6:10)
Of course not, but they might be more likely to act out (the voices in my head made me do it)
I both agree and disagree. I'm sure mental health issues plays a big part in random acts of violence.
What you say about intelligent people commiting white collar crimes, of course that happens too, but it wasn't what I was talking about...
