When it exists unnecessarily AND as the result of another's deliberate intent or neglect.

Since suffering must be unnecessary in a universe created by a god who can (and does) control every aspect of that universe, then if the Christian God exists and has the qualities Christians attribute to him (omnipotence, omniscience), then all suffering is deliberate and exists only because of God's desire to see it happen.
