Jesus created free will being not robots.
The free will beings do the evil.
Therefore there is a judgment to come.

Insert the word "allegedly" in front of each of your statements and you instantly start sounding like an honest person instead of just another cult member with a bridge to sell.
But then again, that level of basic honesty is alien to Christianity, isn't it?

The evil being to exercise that free will and reject Jesus and his dad.
Catch 22 with knobs on.

The "free will" argument, eh? I was thinking about starting a thread about this.
God knows everything that will ever happen. God has a plan for all of us. Therefore, free will is totally negated.
God knew that Eve would be tempted by Satan and eat the apple, and he let it happen. Therefore, God planned on making humans suffer. God knew that the Gospels would be contradictory and cause confusion and argument. So again, God planned on causing mankind pain. It's all in his "plan" which negates free will.
Many Christians tend to forget about God's omnipotence snd omniscience. He's not just some guy sitting in front of the TV wondering what's gonna happen next. He knows all, and plans all.

Seriously, are you going to come down from your lofty mountain and actually address anything anyone says to you, or just continue to mouth platitudes (and thus fulfil the prophecy)?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I'm guessing "no." This one seems dumber than most.

Oh, he's not dumb, at least in the literal sense. On the contrary he's got a hell of a lot to say for himself. His trouble isn't his mouth, or his brain necessarily. It's his ears.

Wouldn't it be eyes (and fingers) in this case..?
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
