Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Christians understand that we are called to WORK to overcome sin in our
lives. This life is a training ground for life with God.

Your questions show that you don't even understand this basic requirement.

Then you are going with line 2 above, that God is malevolent
(essentially, that He is a shit head) ?

Fine with me. I think what it boils down to is that the inescapable
conclusion to be drawn from the above is that one (or more of the
following is true). Whatever you choose, tells much about your manner
of thinking.

1) God doesn't exist
2) Evil doesn't exist
3) God exists but isn't a nice guy at all (i.e., line 2 above)

Of the choices above, 2 is actually the most surreal, and, thus, the most
interesting.
