Your response to that was, I agree.
Quote:Maximally-knowing means he understands things you don't.
So is this one. And, if we don't understand his motives, how can you call those motives good?
He should understand ways to do what he needs to do without the introduction of suffering. If he does, then the only necessary reason for suffering to exist is that God enjoys suffering.
The price you pay for giving your god omnimax attributes is that he is to blame for every flaw of his own creation. There is no excusing or justifying even the tiniest bit of misery in a universe created by a being who has total control over everything, except for that being's love of misery. There is literally no other logical explanation.
I've had this conversation enough times to know that it can only eventually end with you telling me that God can do what he wants because might makes right.
