If you believe in life after death (redux) ....

Free will doesn't exist. Every choice made by every person is the product of a complex chain of causality that started at the inception of the universe. Did you choose your own disposition, your upbringing, the events to which you have been exposed to in your life, etc? You can't choose which thoughts to think before you think them, and no choice can ever be uncaused. You can't direct your brain to think a thought before the thought exists in your conscious mind. Even if you posited the existence of an immaterial soul, then there would have to be something causing the soul to choose the way it did, and so on, ad infinitum. Therefore if God exists and evil exists, evil is inherent in God's design for the universe.
