"For without a choice there can be no freedom."

The Divine is All there Is. The Divine is absolutely and completely FREE. Everything arises in the Divine. Therefore everything and everyone is IMPLICITLY free. You don't need the classifications of "good" and "evil" to be free.

Seen in this way, the main choice is to either exercise your
egoity or surrender into and be lived by God. As you would say, Frederick, "slicing and dicing" things into "good" and "evil" just reinforces the ego and lines it up on one side or the other (all based on its OWN value judgments).

Superimpose the notions of "good" and "evil" on top of the
Divine and you get the subjective valuing of the ego. Not that it is the cause of the ego, just that it feeds the ego.

LOVE?

Love=God=Truth=Reality=Consciousness=All there Is

You and I are pretty much in the same place on that one,
I believe.

Namaste!
