Firstly, please answer the question. Is Dave choosing to get his legs broken because he won't pay Vinny protection money?
Do you want to know the answer? OK: NO! How the hell is Dave choosing to get his legs broken. Without Vinny there wouldn't be a problem. Vinny created the situation, he is to blame. There is not choice. Dave has to pay.
Its the exact same situation with your god. He created reality, he created mankind. He created sin. He created hell. He is responsible for everything, just like how Vinny is in this example.
But he gave man the ultimate gift of free will.
