privatio boni instead of free will defense

Responding to complaints/charges towards god because of evil, we could adopt the judiciary style of a hypothetical lawyer. three defenses are not open to god s defense attorney: 1) that he is not omnipotent; 2) evil is not real; 3) at least some evil is caused by the free will of people and not by god. on the other hand the attorney wants to argue: 1) everything good in the world is brought about by god; 2) some evil – ‘evil suffered’ - is a necessary concomitant of a material natural world, which is good, and so god has brought it about in the sense that he brought about that good ; 3) ‘evil done’ (sin) is not brought about by god in any sense: he could have prevented that, but he is not guilty of neglect. we could criticize traditional christian theology, because of the exaggerated importance it gives to human free will as the main cause of moral evil, without taking into account structural evils, both unconscious and super-personal, moreover, he underlines how the typical manichean metaphysical dilemma (evil matter/good spirit) should not be taken into account at all, because evil is something which concerns only our experience of human life (psychological issue), which is an indissoluble unity of so-called matter (the human body) and so-called spirit (the human soul). the main argument should be, instead the “privatio boni” one. ‘evil’ does not mean ’wickedness , but badness , like in the sentence this washing machine does not work well, it is a bad one . badness is not a thing such as milk or plastic, something which a cow or man or god can make, it is a characteristic of things. so god is not accused of having made badness (which does not exist) but of having made bad things just as he made red things. however, badness is not like redness because it varies from thing to thing, e. g. the chair and the grape when you sit on them. let us observe that badness is less specific than goodness, that is, there is just one kind of good washing machine, whereas there are many kinds of bad ones (those that leak water, those that do not start the cycle, those that give electric shocks).
