Why does God allow suffering? Bear in mind, those that don't need a perfect distraction, suffer less

[QUOTE="Tinker Grey, post: 76859137, member: 671"] A couple of points: I don't think we should distract ourselves with Euthyphro. 2) But, since we're here, it doesn't matter what our conceptions of good are; theists routinely say that everything that God does is good. AND, God has freewill. So to the question of free will, there are beings that exist that have free will and have never done evil. These include God and some angels. Those that go to heaven will always choose good and most would assert that there is free will in heaven. So, I conclude that God wanted free will and had to allow suffering to get it doesn't seem to hold up. [/QUOTE]
