See, it's easy to rationalize if you know how.
Then again, to counter this (and my argument!) an all powerful god should
not be constrained by logic (which presumably he devised anyway).
That being the case, he is free to create a universe where we are both
simultaneously free to do either good or evil, but only able to do good and
never able to do evil.

All he needs to do is devise a universe where logical contradictions like
this make perfect sense.

It's silly of course, but that what you get with all-powerful beings.
