The Problem of Evil and the Free Will Defense

[Ryantology]

Doctor: You should stop smoking.
Patient: Why?
Doctor: Because it will give you cancer.
Patient: But I like smoking.
Doctor: It's a free country.

(10 years later)

Doctor: You have cancer.
Patient: Why couldn't you make me stop?
Doctor: Because, its a free country.

I think it's almost my job to replace bad Christian analogies here with ones more appropriate to their beliefs.

God: You must eat food.
Human: Why?
God: Because you'll starve to death if you don't.
Human: But, my land is ravaged by famine and I am too poor to leave!
God: You have free will.

(10 days later)

God: Looks like you're dying of starvation.
Human: Why did you not give us food? We had nothing to eat and the bandits steal whatever we do find!
God: You had free will.
