I don't know. Maybe the case is that we cannot belittle the Creator because it couldn't chose to chose and face adversity but at the same time, we cannot worship it because of the same reason.
It does tell perhaps more about me, but I think humans tend to admire people who had to work for their position then one simply given it. I think this is universal of humans.
Perhaps the problem of suffering/evil along with this, shows God is unlike the goodness of humans and there is no real similarity, although we always imagine God to be like us humans in goodness.
I dunno. Interesting conversation.
