Your above post is such a travesty of logic and reasoning that it's difficult to know where to begin. For a start it all depends on your definition of wickedness and what particular activities you wish to lump into the category of 'evil'. By your post it would appear that you consider sexual promiscuity, smoking and drinking to be 'evil'. I don't agree - and I'd wager not many other people would either.
If however you're talking about murder, rape, torture and genocide as being 'evil' then your argument doesn't work either. Let's assume that by 'evil' you mean murder, etc. You say, "... Man have tried to stop some evil by laws, there is no desire on the part of many people to halt it...". This sentence is nonsense from start to finish. Laws are not there to stop people from doing evil - they are made so that the perpetrators of evil can be punished appropriately and proportionally and to provide a deterrent to others who may wish to do the same. As for there being no desire on the part of many people to halt evil, you prove yourself wrong in the very same sentence by referring to the fact that man has made laws to punish and deter people from doing evil. Do you actually bother to read the posts you submit?
You go on to say, "... they criticize God for permitting it [evil], and if he stopped it they would decry his interference with their freedom to practice it...". Again, this is patent nonsense. Just think about how many religious (and none religious) people would be eternally grateful if god stepped in personally and stopped evil going on in the world. They would be absolutely rapturous that god had finally shown up and done something genuinely useful in the world. But god doesn't show up. Ever. But if he did, he could kill two birds with one stone - he would eliminate evil and prove his existence all at the same time thereby ensuring that billions more people worshipped him. Isn't that what god wants? More people worshipping him? If so, the answer is staring him in the face.
As I've said before, it's almost as if he isn't there at all...
