Billy Graham and Bad Theology

When I see Christian organizations like the Billy Graham Association - a group of people that, you would think, has at least a basic understanding of God's sovereignty - offering up a distorted view of the nature of God, I have to wonder about the state of modern Christendom:

Why did God make [Adam and Eve] so they could sin and do wrong? The reason is because He didn't want them to be puppets or robots. He made them with a free will - for only then could they freely love Him. Yes, it was a risk on God's part - but if He hadn't taken it, Adam and Eve (and you and I) would be robots, not humans.

As much as I respect what the folks at BGA have done to spread the gospel, I must say that they certainly haven't cornered the market on sound theology. I can only imagine that remarks like this must sound rather insulting to a holy, sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, and just God.
