Good point now define what is evil? How does God define evil? Which gods definition of evil is correct? Can we KNOW without a shadow of a doubt the truth of what God considers evil?What we consider "evil" is all based on our individual perspective and experiences. The bible is far form a credible source to find what god considers evil when the bible it self was written by many authors and put together by a committee. Even the content in the bible is considered evil by many people today.Also if god gave us free choice then why is it that soo many religious people see to fit to try to force us to make the choices they deem appropriate in the name of god?
(Matthew 7:15-23) are from the Sermon on the Mount: "Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thorn bushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them."

Well Christians aren't necessarily known for love and forgiveness, remember the Crusades.

As bad as this is, imagine how bad it'd be if prayer actually worked.

(Not that I agree with the teacher's decision to make them sing about Obama, btw)
