Classic theist rebuttal of the problem of suffering is to say that suffering could be consistent with driving the maximum people to god by free will. This is possible but lacks moral seriousness. But why hasn't god realised a world where all people come to freely beleive in him without suffering? He has created possible worlds where this has been the case. The garden of eden, the immediate post flood earth and heaven itself. All people freely believed and no suffering, so why not now? Is he just toying with us or does he simply not exist?
