Here's the thing with this. Let's say you have someone being attacked by a rapist. Mr Yahweh chooses not to intervene because he respects the free will of the rapist. But what about the victim - the victim isn't choosing to be raped - they're having their free will taken away by the rapist. So basically, what this entails, is that faced with a choice between protecting the free will of an aggressor and protecting the free will of their victim, Mr Yahweh will always prioritise the free will of the aggressor.
