But it overrides free will. Why would God create something like mental illness that overrides a person's free will and causes them to do terrible things? Like shooting up a theater, or an elementary school?
I mean he either created it, or it came about as a result of his creation and he did nothing to stop it (this of course goes by the argument that he does exist. As Jules Renard said, it'd be much better for his reputation if he does not exist)
Can we really say that these things are objectively moral? Allowing these things to happen? If they aren't objectively moral, then how can objective morality come from someone who isn't objectively moral themselves? If it IS objectively moral, then how is it objectively moral? Simply because it's what God wants? That's actually subjective morality. Because it's subjective to "God's" will.
