If Evil Exists, God Does Not Exist

I really appreciate my counterparts restatement of his views in his last post. It was very helpful. Thank you. My accusation about him potentially covering up his ideas or trying to "Sound smart" are clearly false and I apologize. I wanted to clarify that it's not that I'm not philosophically inclined but that I'm not familiar with the way philosophers state things in their writings. I think the trouble my counterpart and I are having is one of definitions. Our understanding of ideas like omnibenevolence are obviously somewhat different. It would appear that my counterpart's definition is that God would not allow anything seriously bad morally or situationally. I think the mistake in part is the assumption that because that's how we imagine it should be done and that we would do it that therefore that is the only reasonable way it can be done. I believe that God's omnibenevolence expresses it self in His desire allow us to freely choose Him as a logical extension of His love. If the choice between Him and something else is real then the possibility for evil and suffering is real no matter what one does. It might help if I clarified a bit by pointing out that God's greatest desire for us is not freedom in and of it self but rather a loving relationship with Him. Love necessitates freedom. He wanted us to be able to choose Him or otherwise. To to good is to act in accordance with God's will. To do evil is to act contrary to God's will. We have a world of suffering and evil because we deliberately chose it. When we chose to disobey God in the garden we chose to act contrary to His will and this is by definition evil. God is not strait jacketed by the definition of goodness. Rather goodness is defined by God's essence. Whatever choice God makes is automatically good. He is the source and He sets the standard. My counterpart argues that it is possible to have freewill where only good choices are the outcome. This is to misunderstand the nature of good and evil and the nature of our first parents choices. There are only two choices. For God or against Him. That is why there can't be only good choices actually possible and freewill at the same time. Choices that are available only in theory but not in reality aren't real choices it seems to me. But love requires real choice. I would like to point out something of practical importance. Ask yourself this. If everyone, today, started acting like Jesus, what would the world be like? That's what it would be like if we all at least started to attempt to obey God. Most of what we call evil would never happen again. So whose fault is it? It's ours. We make the choice to disobey God and not act like His Son. Why do we keep blaming Him? Who do we think we are to do that? If we have freewill then we can choose against God's will. There are two kinds by the way, His sovereign will and His permissive will which could also be called His desire. The definition of evil is to chose against God's will. So evil is the logical outcome of choosing against God. God is untouched by it because He cannot do other than act in accordance with His own will. If evil is not a real possibility then it's not a real choice and love is not satisfied.
