If there was a definition of God that says he's a being who lets no living thing physically die or suffer then there would be a dilemma. As far as I can tell there's no claim in the bible, Quran or Torah that God is like that.
I see a huge dilemma with an omnibenevolent god allowing or creating evil, it is supposed to be infinitely good. The claim he works in mysterious ways is the same as saying I don't know why god lets that happen.
I don't see a dilemma in saying I believe in a god but don't know exactly why he does everything he does.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
