If this isn't the best he could do, it;s still what he did. Suffering exists in this world. In that case, he's capable, but not willing.
If he's both willing and able...then at least some of this suffering wouldn't exist...and yet it does.
So basically either God is evil for allowing evil, or he's not truly God because his powers are very limited. That's my point.

And the point is that no rewards make any of that any better.
