1. God knows everything and can do anything and is in total control of the entire universe and everything in it.
2. Everything God does, he does with complete understanding of the consequences.
3. Everything which happens is a result of God's desires and efforts.
4. Every consequence, of everything (e.g. suffering, pain, rape, torture), is specifically what God expressly desires to happen.
Quote:Put in formal logic exactly how it follows from God's omniscience that God is required to give people a world without pain or suffering.
Omnipotence does not require God to give people a world without pain or suffering. It just means that he's omnipotent and malicious.

Spoken like a true psychopath.
