The main idea was that a world with less suffering is imaginable. Following Rhythm's rules for a better universe, we could expect to see much of the suffering that exists dissipate.
Sufferings aren't needed simply because this world calls for them with its laws and could be eliminated in large part by a change to human nature and/or to necessary living conditions.
Also, I said it was bullshit that God didn't create the thing that destroys and that lack of existence isn't really "evil".
Sorry for being too lazy to retype the whole damn thing.

My conclusion is that there is no reason to believe any of the dogmas of traditional theology and, further, that there is no reason to wish that they were true.
