God, why if you are wholly good did you make a world in which people rape and murder, commit genocide and other atrocities?
I've given my children free will. Everyone has the capacity for both good and evil, it is up to the individual to choose the correct patch.
Why didn't you just make people who would always choose good?
My son, one cannot be said to truly have free will if one must always choose good. Free will is one of the greatest gifts given to mankind.
But why is free will good?
Free will is the essence of existence--surely you can see how free will is not only good, but necessary.
So if free will is good, and you are good, and good is you, does that mean that you too have free will?
Indeed. Man was made in my image. I too have free will. I am also all-good, so it follows that my choices are always good.
Well, why didn't you just make everyone like that?
You see, um........ well one must understand... er......... I'M A MYSTERY! WOOOOO, NOBODY CAN KNOW MY MIND! WOOOOOO..... ahem, mysteryyyyyyy.....
