The problem with that, however, is that it demonstrates that free will is not so necessary that evil is an acceptable consequence of its existence. The argument is completely incompatible with Christian theology.
Throw in to that the fact that the christian god openly supports slavery.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
