If Evil Exists, God Does Not Exist

.. .. I bet you think you know what I'm going to say next, but you'd be wrong. In the beginning God dreamed. Here is my theory at any rate. Before the beginning of all things God did a thought experiment. He asked Himself; what would a world be like that included all these people whom I've dreamt of and come to love if they had the greatest degree of freedom and the least amount of suffering. So, this world came to be and it's whole history beginning to end with all it's suffering and glory and the fates of all those who were destined to live there was lived out. After this, God then physically created and played out all of those things which He had dreamt as if it were a play written down. This is how we have freewill, true choices and yet God is completely sovereign having total control of all things. We, however don't experience it that way because to us this is still the first time it's all happened. Why does God let us suffer? Couldn't He make a world with less suffering? What makes us think that such is world is actually a better world? At what price? I think that what is most important is not a world of minimal suffering but a world of maximum freedom. Is freewill how we got into this mess NO! !! ! Our abuse of freewill is how we got into the mess our world is in. It started with the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. The tree wasn't a test of our obedience, or loyalty, nor was it a set up. It's job was done the moment the roots hit the soil. That's why God isn't guilty of a thing when it comes to the bad results concerning that tree. God put it there because without it there would be no genuine choice between God and self worship. There would be no ability to truly choose or choose otherwise. That Tree actualized that instantly. The reason it's not God's fault what we do is because of the very nature of choice. If I have five pieces of fruit and apple, pear, peach, banana, and orange and I force you to eat one, I've give you one of my choices but you didn't really have a choice did you? But If I let you pick one and let's say it's the apple, then when it comes to that apple I no longer have control over that apple. I voluntarily gave up that choice to you, and doing so limits my choices. It's like that with God. He gives us real choices and when He does, it necessarily limits his choices that He's willing to exercise in the situation. Let's define good and evil before we go any further. God is the source of all being. God is therefore the source of all meaning of that being. God is therefore the sole determiner of what is good. It could be alternatively said good is that which is consistent with the will of God. Evil is nothing more than to contradict God's intention. It's not a thing that it stands in opposition to God. It's really just damage or distortion to that which is good. This is why it's impossible for God to do evil. To do good is to do the will of God. God cannot contradict His own will. Will can mean two thing by the way. His absolute will is that something will be a certain way no matter what. Then there is His permissive will that says He may want something a certain way but will tolerate it being otherwise.
