We could have been made so that we innately have all the character we need. An all-powerful being doesn't need to be that amazingly circumspect in influencing human behavior when he is supposed to have no limit to his abilities.
For an all-powerful creator, any suffering of any kind is avoidable and the fact of its existence indicates either sloppiness or malevolence on the part of God. Of course, the latter seems to be the case as he damned Adam and Eve and all descendant mankind with hardship and pain in response to what seems to be a jackass temptation on God's part to see what the humans will do if he draws attention to it and prohibits their access to it.
The true Problem of Evil for the religions of Yahweh is how one can read the God of the Old Testament and not see a being of psychotic jealousy and murderous spite, in other words the modern classical interpretation of evil.
