If God exists and is omnipotent, he can do anything. He could perhaps create another opposite to love that is called 'fnerd' that goes on in a cave deep underground where nobody notices it. Or he could make it so that there needs to be no opposite to love.
World with happiness and without suffering?
Does logic permit such a thing?
He could have created a world where the concept of opposites do not exist.
I would wager its possible to create at least a hypothetical model of an atom that has only protons, and no neutrons. (Of course this is only a valid argument if you agree that neutrons and protons are the opposites of one another)
The way I see it, the problem is that the traditional concept of God lies beyond logic, which is a contradiction of sorts.
