A God that allows evil cannot be both benevolent and omnipotent. It either doesn't care, or can't do anything.
The "evil works for good" argument makes no sense, because surely "good works for good" would be better.
The idea that evil is "necessary" because a God needs to let people do evil so they won't feel over-parented, is just inane.
And I categorically reject "evil doesn't matter, because this life doesn't matter - only the afterlife matters".
