I think people are given free will so that they can make their own choices and follow their own paths in life. That includes the choices of good and evil. I dont believe that the path is same for anyone and that the paths that our souls choose to follow are found within ourselves.(I know that will not sit well with many participants of this thread, but it is how I feel) We all have the choice to do good and evil, but not everyone has an innate inclination to do evil.

The thing that I find interesting in many of the arguements that I read here is that people claim that God has given them free will, yet these same people claim that if you do not strictly obey the scriptures that you will be damned to hell for eternity. That is not Free Will. It is quite the opposite.
Many people seem to place more worth on the Word of God and so little on the experience of God, which in my mind is nothing more and nothing less than Love and Compassion. A willingness to see the truth and beauty in all people and things. If that is a little to "New Agey" for people here, I apologize, I certaintly mean no disrespect to anyone on this thread.
