I thought a new premise is that along with character building, is that there is want of variation of experiences in character building, and this is why you have different things that achieve similar goodness, but can be achieved by something else.
This can be for to have a more enriching sentient life experience. Gazillion years from now, the different experiences, will be legacies to remember, and the more diversity there is, the more enriching the experience. I say sentient life, because I'm inclined to believe there is sentient life like ours due to God's grace, and if not in this universe, then certainly in other universes. This belief is in likelihood, it's not belief in a sure manner, but I'm inclined towards this and see it very likely.
Diversity in experiences is cool, everyone with opportunity to have their unique story. Different "evils" to bring different character building.
The problem so far with the Theodicy I am presenting is the issue of seemingly special pleading to God with no reason given why. I will try to get a response from theists on other forums about this issue.
