And god created people with free will

Frankly, I don't buy this as an explanation even for human-created evil. It is still evidence that god cannot be tri-omni. Because it is still a situation in which god is able to remove evil and is aware of the evil, and yet he chooses to permit evil. Even evil done by one human against another, when the other is entirely innocent. And that cannot be omnibenevolent.

From how you phrased it I suspect you agree with me here, but the natural disasters argument is even more ludicrous. It doesn't even come close to working as a refutation of the Epicurian Trilemma.
