As has already been mentioned Drich, you are proposing the able but not willing god ( and I guess just for the hell of it you've also invoked the willing but not able god as well). God is not willing to prevent evil as it interferes with this ghostly thing you like to call "free will", and he is not able to do so since for some reason his little plan hinges on the whole bit to begin with. Malevolent as well as incompetent. 
You haven't put Epicuras' little assessment at peril, you've simply repeated it yourself. You have an issue with the word malevolence, you aren't addressing the problem of evil at all. I guess it gets to live at least one more day, add that to the thousands already under it's belt.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
