An omnipotent god could prevent evil if it wanted to. An omnibenevolent god would want to. An omniscient god would know how to. A tri-omni god--if it existed--would prevent all evil.
Therefore: if evil exists, tri-omni gods do not exist.
If a tri-omni god existed, there would not be any evil.
It is logically impossible for a tri-omni god to coexist with any kind of evil.
I prefer the LPoE (logical problem of evil). Tri-omni gods are logically inconsistent with even the tiniest smidgen of evil.
I pulled these statements from your post (it seemed to be your theme). Your reasoning is that God would somehow necessarily have to create a word in which there was no (let's use suffering). I don't think you can support that logically because there is no implicit nor explicit reasons that that should be the case. As long as we can conceive of a possible situation where God would have morally sufficient reasons to permit suffering, there is not a contradiction. Rather, I think it crosses over into a probabilistic argument.
So you've conceived of a possible situation where God would have morally sufficient reasons to permit suffering, despite his tri-Omni super powers. I'd like to hear what it is.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
