Why? Explain that dynamic. Are you suggesting that free will is not the product of The Creator (that is to say the God of the Judeo-Christian Tradition), but instead is the happenstance of “Random chance” (like Topsey it just growed)? Following your logic to its conclusion, are you then suggesting that the Judeo-Christian God is not at all The Creator, but is rather just another hapless outcome of random “chance” (leaving aside your misapplication of “random”).

If God directly created leftists and other lunatics and their filthy minds then can we still call God "good"? There has to be some intermediate randomness to allow for the existence of free will. What would be an alternative mechanism?

God created free will. The “filthy minds” are the free choice of the “leftists and other lunatics” who have decided wrongly (or so we believe by our own God-given best judgment).

To assign free will to the agency of “randomness” is simply a bassackward way to deny God. It is a surrender to Materialism (which, by the way, denies free will).
