Thanks for your input. I think we'd be foolish to claim to be able to explain these concepts so easily.
The point is God does allow evil. He will not interfere with our free will, even if we commit evil. God's permitting will allows all types of suffering and evil. Why? Because we choose evil over good many times.
If God did not allow us free will, we would not truly be able to love Him. We would be mere robots.
