    God let evil exist because he doesn’t want to take away our free will, you say? So why is it I cannot hold my hand on a burning stove, but I can hold someone else’s on it?

            People who don’t have that reflex are few enough that its absence can be considered an anomaly. If humans are God’s design, the existence of a self-preservation reflex like this sets a precedent.

            it’s weird that God determined accidental burns are bad enough that it’s worth taking away our free will to prevent them, but heinous crimes like paedophilia aren’t.

              This isn’t a defense of your position, read: claim, which was about one man. To assume the royal we after the claim is fallacious and changing scope. You cannot claim one as all if I cannot claim one as one. Exception break rules. Besides, there is no god.
