He allows us to go wrong if we're totally bent on doing it. If your kid wants to go and do something wrong, and you lock him in his room, sooner or later he will find a way to get out and do it. He will probably resent you all the more for restricting him. God may have done quite a bit, but humanity was obviously determined to do whatever it wanted to.
Why do you anthropomorphosise this deity of yours as if he is a father?? My father was a jerk and sounds like you are no better.
