Theists: how do you account for psychopaths?

What I mean is... you start from the presupposition that he both exists and must have a good reason for allowing it.

I think the problem is that he cannot do the logically impossible... so if you find a contradiction then you certainly can rationally say that you know better than he does. He can't defeat logic.

So, like I said, seen as he can do anything that is logically possible there is literally no need for him to allow needless suffering. He can achieve whatever end net good he wants without any of the bad. You say there must be a reason but I'm saying that there can't possibly be because he is supposedly choosing the greatest option but there's a greater option that is logically possible and that he can therefore achieve which he hasn't chosen because suffering happens.

P1: God always chooses the best logically possible option.
P2. There is a better logically possible option than the one in which God has chosen which he hasn't chosen.
C: Therefore such a God does not exist.
