Then why does he create children who are born without legs, without eyes, with their legs molded together. Why does he let children starve every day of their lives. Why does he let millions die every year and why oh why did God let the holocaust happen to his people the Jewish people? Either the Christian God is a psychopath who likes to get off on human suffering or the Christian God is not all powerful or that he is nothing more than a made up and an imaginary friend. Can't wait for all the excuses for the holocaust.

In giving us free will there must be a choice. If He created a perfect world there would be no choice. But seeing we have free will that's not true. If all the choices we had were not evil, or good, then there would be no point to free will. So thus in order to allow us to choose the good there has to be bad. So evil is a byproduct of having free will. Because God wants us to love him but if he forced that upon us (no free will) it wouldn't really be love. He wants us to choose to love him (free will) so that the love is real
