Retribution and justice is meted out on a cosmic scale by God alone. That is why hell exists so child murderers and rapists who do not repent get their eternal punishment for their actions. Feel better champ?

The problem of evil is incredibly simple to solve if your mind isn't geared toward trying to accuse God of such and such. With free will comes Evil, without free will you don't exist, and if you conclude that you are not worth the experiment due to said evil I agree, but you speak for yourself, I'm willing to play the game and you don't decide for me.

So God isn't powerful enough to create free will without evil? Why call him god then, he is supposed to be without limit.
On that note why even create free will at all, it has value to us as those who experience it but it's not an inherently valuable thing, why would an omnipotent being desire to create free will?

You're over thinking things, and there's nothing wrong with that per say, but you're also implying that you think like a god, or that you can think like a being that knows every blade of grass. It's impossible to say for certain there is a god, just as it's impossible to say there isn't. That being said, the arguments you're bringing up, like  are 'I'm a teen and just starting to think for myself because my Jewish teach told me this' arguments. It doesn't take much to come to the conclusion that if God intervened, then there wouldn't be free will. Let's be honest, if God showed himself to everyone, that free will would be lost. Who the hell would risk eternal salvation for eternal damnation? Everyone would be a choir boy. And if god did intervene to right a wrong, where would be the free will for that person? And if that person is robbed of their free will, what makes that individual so special if we're all the same under god? Wouldn't then he have to intervene everywhere? and if he intervenes everywhere, then there is no more free will.

In the grand scheme of things, I get what you're saying, why would a god even need to create a world/humans where all this is possible and these are the rules we have to play by. And quite frankly, the way I rationalize it, it's like trying to explain a complex algebraic equation to a tribe in Africa with an I.Q. of 60. There are some things the human mind just can't understand due to our limited brainpower limits. So why the faith without the proof? Because I'd rather believe and have faith, than not. Not to mention that all that is happening in the world today has been prophesized by many Christians and it's happening down to a t.
