Nevertheless eliminating the type of male desire (it's always a man) to torture women for sexual pleasure does not seem to involve any logical contradiction and thus God could have done it without interfering with that individuals free will. I'm not that interested in the whole issue because God is under no compulsion or obligation to create the best of all possible worlds. I don't think he did but there is no conclusion about the nature or existence of God to be drawn from that. This whole debate seems the purview of Deists. As you already pointed out once the philosophical debate doesn't fit hand in glove with Revelation where after all we have the Fall, Original Sin and Jesus , in His human nature, being brutally and unjustly executed.
Well, at least we can agree on something - the described torture and murder of Jesus is one of the worst stories in religion (all religions, not just yours). Good thing it never happened, innit?
