But the choice is ours, which means it's not God's. God didn't cause the evil, It allowed it--a critical difference.
Aids yes, allows no. And because God would allow evil in this controlled environment, that doesn't make God evil. It's the only path to an eternal life. The only alternative would be God with no universe, and no sentient creatures with free will and independent thought which benefits both God and those (of us ) who move on to that far shore one day. You don't like suffering and that life isn't fair, well I don't either but it looks like we'll either have to accept that, or believe in nothing.
That's a primitive attitude toward God, which is the one that's, regrettably, still prevalent. Deism and atheism are the only reasonable positions on God, but neither offer any salve for our crushing doubt--but at least deism offers a very distant hope
You're not explaining though why god could not create choice without evil. You avoid that point, and keep going to the choice aspect of it. If god is all knowing he has everything to do with allowing evil. Since most theistic religions say god has a plan, and allows evil, that is aiding and abetting for his 'divine plan'. I didn't say I didn't like life, as to your other point, and I accept suffering as inevitable. This does not help a defense, on your part. You can say the Problem of Evil is primitive, but it remains unsettled.
