Well that's an easy one to answer, and the key is in the question.
You said "IF" god is all of the below.
Well the answer is simple. Assuming God exists, then he must not be one of the things you stated, and that would be b) Omnibenevolent,
Either that, or he chooses sees free will (yes I know your agrguement about free will not existing, so leave it out), as more important than elliminating evil.
Here's a question for you, as I believe you have children it should apply to you nicely.
If a good parent beleives:
1) they love their child
2) Love means ensuring no harm comes to their child
3) Harm can come from letting your child out of the house
Then why do you let your kids out of the house.
Must not be a good parent.
I can prove just about anything with flawed logic.
