Another problem for Christians with the idea of free will and evil existing is that it illustrates that apparently Hell is not big enough of a deterrent to keep people from doing evil, nor is Heaven big enough a reward.

Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
