I already have. For free will to be possible, evil must be possible. For God to completely restrict evil would be for him to restrict meaningful free will.
God plainly feels that the dangers of evil are an acceptable risk for having free will.
- Man is sufficiently intelligent to recognize evil.
- God is sufficiently powerful to aid man in avoiding evil.
- God is intelligent and wise enough to judge each person.
- In the end, God will wipe away every tear from the eyes of his people. Which means no lingering suffering from experiencing evil will remain.
