The argument against "evil", theists please come to the defense.

RE: The argument against "evil", theists please come to the defense.
What purpose is served to a God who allows suffering for whatever reason? What benefit is there from suffering that an omnipotent God could not have simply willed to form an integral part of human nature. God could give people every benefit imaginable. Life could literally be perfect (perfection, strictly defined, must only be as boring or as exciting as the individual feels is comfortable).

That a God allegedly ultimate and perfect in all ways did not see fit to do this indicates a failure on his part, regardless of how well you could possibly justify it.
