Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Why don't you answer the question? That is pathetic....
 
simply by defining malevolent:

ma·lev·o·lent [muh-lev-uh-luhnt]
–adjective 1.wishing evil or harm to another or others; showing ill will; ill-disposed; malicious:

able to prevent evil but not willing doesn't equate to malevolence. Especially when you are talking about an omnipotent being. You cannot judge because you cannot see from that perspective.

The point of everything is our choices. Why would be given free will then not be allowed to use it?
