God is all loving, he hates to see his children go to hell, yet for us to truly feel any happiness evil must exist and we must be allowed to choose it over good. Otherwise we would be mindless robots, not capable of joy or sadness. God gave us the greatest gift imaginable, use it as you will. And please choose God's free love gift.
Thanks Steph. I'm not sure what kind of hell you personally believe in, but I sometimes wonder why the only other option we're given is sometimes described as unending burning torture. I also sometimes wonder if Mary and Jesus actually had free will, since they were sinless. Or if people have free will in Heaven, since that's also a place without sin. Those are the kinds of questions that come to mind when people bring up free will when trying to explain why people sin.
Christianity doesn't seem to be as clear cut as the believers want people like me to believe it is. I guess that's just my disconnection with Jesus talking.
