How do you know that it is wrong not to prevent suffering if you could? You are providing your opinion from your limited knowledge to prove that an omnipotent God is not doing the right thing. I realize that we're discussing a God that is imaginary as far as you are concerned, but if we're assuming that he's omnipotent, then we must assume that he knows more than we do.
But then, you believe in an omnipotent god, don't you? That, in itself, provides a refutation for the claim that god is doing the right thing: being omnipotent, it is within god's power to confer all the benefits of suffering he had in mind for us, without needing to both go through with the suffering, or impede our free will. That's just in the definition of being omnipotent; so what you have there is a god who can prevent suffering with no loss of the attendant benefits, but chooses not to do that. It would be impossible to claim that this god is doing the right thing.

If you want an answer, quit insulting me. Otherwise talk to the hand.
