    You can’t have free will without the option to choose anything. If you can’t choose evil you don’t have free will it’s just a semblance of free will. If you’d prefer a semblance of free will that’s valid

      I choose hedbidittle!

      Oh! I can’t have hedbidittle, because it doesn’t exist. It’s not even a concept.

      Well then, I guess I don’t have free will.

          It doesn’t. All I’m saying is that your assertion that free will requires that evil is a choice assumes the existence of evil in the first place. If God never created evil, then it’s simply not something you could ever choose, just like an infinity of other non-things that you cannot choose. But that doesn’t inhibit your free will.
