This was one of the quotes I was referring to. I'll change "God" to "Diety".

A God that allows suffering and catastrophes and disorder to occur in this world is best explained by deism that proposes God being too grand to be involved in our affairs. A loving God would make no sense with all this unnecessary suffering in the world.
Unless God is more than one-dimensional.
