Another case of theists deliberately misunderstanding a clear point.
I did not start this thread to discuss whether I believe in free will. The thread is a refutation of the Christian claim that god allowed evil into the world out of respect for human free will. The bible itself is its own refutation. All I'm doing is pointing out what it says.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
