One of them goes along the lines of:

Suffering is either good or evil for humanity.
If we should want to stop it, then it is evil.
We should want to stop it.
Therefore it's evil for humanity.

Another:

Suffering is either good or evil for humanity.
If it is good for humanity, we should not want to stop it.
We should want to stop it.
Therefore it's not good for humanity.

Also:

If God doesn't want to stop suffering, so shouldn't we.
We should want to stop suffering for humanity.
Therefore God should want to stop suffering for humanity.

You put my thoughts into words. So why do you believe in such a god?

If it was just an intellectual question then I probably would not believe. I believe for spiritual mystic reasons.
