A theodicy that can justly be called that is proffered in the essay. The preface notes the definition and common opinions about theodicy. I claim to win a victory over God by my standard of theodicy. The first chapter discusses how freewill complicates the matter, and discusses my arguments that freewill cannot justify evil actions. The second chapter lays out my theodicy that allows evil thoughts and desires but not evil actions. Punishment consists of the perpetual frustration of evil intent without any hope of fulfilling the intent. This is consistent with the freedom innate to sentience and with the duty of God to thwart injustice. Do not complain about Abel's murder, prevent it.
