Of course it's not contradictory because free-will was posited to address the problem of evil, conveniently so (again by theists not atheists). Did God have the option not to give free-will therefore no evil? If God didn't have this option then evil is something that God has no control over himself so he has no real ethical recourse. If God did have this option then he chose evil to be part of his game plan again, he has no real ethical recourse.

Again God cannot be all powerful while being required to use his power in a particular way. That statement eliminates any logic from the original statement.

In addition, the problem is the atheist pretends that the only tissue is evil existing which is silly. They look at it weird because, again, they simply must put a condition on something that doesn't need it. It's ridiculously binary as if God can't love the good and hate the bad and allow choice which is a completely normal function of life for humans. Yet for some reason, the person who is wiser and more powerful cannot live by those guidelines he gave us.

In order for God to be loving, he would need to allow choice. Choice does not mandate evil which is why making evil the primary condition goofy.

Rather there is simply an option away from the best choice by God's standards. God being all powerful has nothing to do with our choices since he is not in anyway obligated to assist us in those choices. The love was shown simply in allowing the choice which is always a far more compassionate view of life than automating everything. In human terms, it's the difference between having a pet dog and a pet laptop.
