Very true, and I have thought about this myself before too. When I was in my early teen years, I was convinced God made a mistake by designing sex. I thought, if sex didn't exist, neither would rape, abortion, over population, unwanted pregnancies...and even things like parent on child abuse and poverty would probably decrease by a landslide.
Now a days, I can put things into perspective better:
Here I am, one little human person out of an entire universe, occupying it for a tiny fraction of time, and I think I know better than God? The being who created everything and everyone? The being who can see the whole universe all at once, past, present, and future? Does it make any logical sense to think I know better than He does?
...And then of course, logically follows the argument of whether or not the God I believe in actually does exist. I have my reasons for believing He does, and the video on the OP explains a small part of it, but the major part of it is the supernatural experience I had.
Yes, you do know better than God. That's the whole point. When you hit a point where your own empathy and common sense clash with what you think your God is teaching you, the LOGICAL thing to do is let go of the faulty belief. The ILLOGICAL thing to do is say, "well, I'm pretty sure rape is horrible, but who am I to question God?" That is pure abandonment of all reason. It's like one big, massive appeal to the shittiest authority that has ever existed. You DO know better than God, CL!
