Do you ever think God is ashamed of what he created?

I asked this question on Yahoo! Answers. I received some very interesting answers, but these are some of my favorite responses:

-No, because HE created it.
Wisdom Chapter 11
24
For you love all things that are and loathe nothing that you have made; for what you hated, you would not have fashioned.
25
And how could a thing remain, unless you willed it; or be preserved, had it not been called forth by you?

-Nope. It's all part of a big plan unfolding and coming to its fulfillment real soon on a planet near you

-(This guy says he doesn't believe in Heaven, but says this) can't be that ashamed. why they hell else would he even offer a heaven if he was?

-I am sure we disappoint Him many times with our behavior, and I know
we grieve Him when we are sinful, the Bible tells us that, but I don't
think He is ashamed, I think He always just loves us and hopes we
will change. The Bible says He is always waiting for those to come back
to Him, just as the prodigal son did in the New Testament. The Father
was thrilled that the wayward son came home, and that is how God
is when we behave sinfully.
May God bless you and keep you safe.

-I think he is disappointed sometimes with the choices that we make. If you think about things from his vantage point, I am sure you can understand how me may feel angry towards humans, because we screw so many things up.
But then, sometimes, people act out of love and altruism. Sometimes people conduct themselves with morality and strong ethics. When we help people and show them love, I am sure God smiles upon us.

-(Honestly, this wasn't exactly my favorite; I just thought it was sort of witty) Very. I can just see God now, looking at all the evangelists and fundies, and saying "what in the name of me was I thinking?"
