Yeah, you know, a painful death in childhood with no opportunity to build any character (thus making the entire scheme a shell game with no real purpose - and still not omnipotent, arguably -at this point- not omnibenevolent or omniscient either and also reduced to being in precisely the same boat as myself regarding what is or is not possible, no more a god than yours truly) -but that's okay, no harm no foul.

The "problem of evil" is a rhetorical trap. Its the La Brea Pit of Divinity. There is no escaping it once you've made the claim under it's purvey. That's really all that's going on. Struggling once you're in that pit only hastens your journey to the bottom.
