Before you get upset, realize that my description of gandalf is the one that he supplied to me, in the Bible. Of course, I don't believe the Bible, but if I did, I would be forced to believe that gandalf is not good by my standards.
You can apply your standard to God however it means little if anything at all, God is eternal and your short lived opinon is only a faint and dying whisper riding on the winds of time.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
