God is not to blame for suffering of any sort.

God has never shirked responsibility for what developed, for the simple reason that the main cause of it was the gift of free will given to his creation, both spirit and human.A gift is not something which is forced upon you without any choice of your own. If you do not have the choice to receive it or not to receive it, it is something that is forced upon you and it is not a nice gesture. It is not a gift. We were all thrown into this world, none of asked for it. If I give you a human-being-sized bug zapper to keep in your house, and tell you that it could easily kill you, you would probably not want it. But if I kept it in your house anyway without giving you any other options, you would not call it a gift. The woman who's child is raped and killed in front of her eyes probably does not see the existence of free-will for the criminals as a gift from God. If she had the choice she would probably do without it. Some people would prefer not ever living than seeing their children killed. This 'gift' of free-will is most certainly worse than the 'gift' of a dangerous bug-zapper because it has lead to more unimaginable tragedy and disaster than a bug-zapper ever could. Also, building upon your parent analogy God being responsible for creating such a system where a multitude of his creations are bound to suffer, often eternally, makes God a very 'irresponsible parent'. For a smart and loving parent, there would be nothing that would be worth giving their child cancer or allowing them to get raped.Was that wise? Well would you want, for example, a pet who could only do what you told it. Nothing more, nothing less? Such a pet would be nothing more than a robot as it would have absolutely no control over what it did or why.I am not an all-powerful and therefore self-sufficient being. It is ok for me to have 'wants'. God should not have any desires. And in addition to this, to be quite honest I would really rather have a robot dog than a dog that gets raped, diseased and brutally killed in this life and then get tortured eternally in the afterlife. I would actually hate to watch that happen to something that I loved. I would certainly not think of myself as benevolent. I would certainly not think that it was all worth it because it allowed for 'the gift of free-will' to exist.The other question associated with that is, would you want to be a robot, or would you like to have, as we do, a reasonable ability to make our own decisions.That's an easy question for me to answer because I live a very happy life. I have not really ever had a major tragedy in my life. Not even the death of a very close family member. And I have lived on this Earth for 3 decades now. But please ask this question to a child who knows nothing but hunger throughout his existence, or an orphan who saw his parents tortured and killed in front of his eyes, or woman who's been abused so many times she's about to commit suicide. Ask these people what they would have chosen: being what they are, being robots, or being non-existent. I think everyone knows what their answer would be. Given free will there was always the risk that at least one would misuse that free will, as Satan did,and then Adam after him.Did God have free will? Did he choose to do all of this? Did he know that his plan would lead to so much suffering? In what sense of the word then did God not misuse his free-will?Given that whist God is responsible for the suffering that ensued, he is not in fact to blame for it.But he is to blame for it. Being All-Powerful, he should have no needs, or wants or dersires. Nothing a mortal being can do should be of any use to him. Yet he still chose to create a system where literally billions of souls would suffer not just on this Earth, but eternally in the afterlife as well.Satan raised a challenge to God over whether mankind would ever serve God willingly, especially, under persecution. So.... essentially God let all of this happen because of a bet? Is this a serious defence of God's actions? Sounds like a joke to me. “Hey God, I bet these creatures are really evil.” “Oh yeah? Prove it! I don't care how many children get raped, I'm gonna prove to you that they're always gonna serve me. Just you watch.”Faced with a challenge like that God was really left with only two alternatives.1: Wipe out Satan and all who followed him and start again with the faithful angles and a new human creation.2: Allow Satan the opportunity to prove his case, as he attempted to with Job.Should God simply be a powerful bully? (option 1), or should he actually prove beyond any doubt that no such challenge could ever be 100% successful (option 2)?How about 3) Not make bets with a being that you yourself created and avoid the suffering of billions of creatures. Separate Job and Satan as you would two quarrelling children. Let them live and make their decisions independent of each other since none of this is necessary. No responsible parent 'wipes out' a bully. Nor does a good parent give a bullying sibling an opportunity to prove that they can sway their siblings to do bad things and become disobedient to their parents. That is absurd. The only way to deal with a bully is to try to reason with them and if that doesn't work, isolate them. No wise parent would just let them go and do whatever the heck they want just to prove a point. Also, please don't forget, the torture of children is a very real and possible consequence of all this. Is a bet more important to God than avoiding such a consequence?God chose option 2, but only for a set time period, and with the over-riding provision tat Satan could not directly cause the death of any human.Even a second spent getting raped is a long time period. That still left Satan with the ability to influence human thought, and he has clearly done so for the millennia since.Millenia is certainly a long time period.Satan has influenced men to cause suffering to others in an attempt, all too successful in many cases to make them do precisely what you are doing with your accusations.Yeah, some might say Satan's been far more successful than God. There have been less true christians than non-christians. Far more eternally damned souls than saved souls. Billions more. What does this say about God's planning skills? That limited time is almost up. Satan has had a fair opportunity to prove his point, and failed.You just said he was all too successful... which is it?In the meantime God has arranged for a resurrection of all who have suffered and died in the past to give them the chance of a much improved life, and the renewed option of eternal life on earth which Adam threw away, and also the privileged of helping to restore the earth.Oh goodie, how nice of God. By the way, why are we suffering for Adam's mistake? Why are we to blame for something he did?There will, at the end of his son's reign, be one last, and very brief opportunity for Satan to prove his case, this time against a large number of perfect humans who have had a great deal of experience living in complete peace, complete health God's way. I do not know which biblical prophesy you are talking about here and what the evidence for the coming of this era is. But it sounds quite nutty (just a personal opinion there).Any who fail this final test will be destroyed with no opportunity of resurrection, and that will include Satan and all the spirit beings who followed in his wicked course.Again, none of this needed to happen since God has no needs. So good job God, you proved you can start a lot of drama.Is that Just?No.Those who survive that final test will be rewarded by the opportunity of perfect health, perfect peace, for eternity, as well as a personal relationship with their creator. In time any suffering will be long forgotten, and the 3 score years and 10 that some may have achieved in their original human life will seem so insignificant as to be not worth considering against the blessings that faithfulness will have brought them.This is what muslims would tell me too. There is even a hadith that says that a man who goes to heaven will not even remember the difficulties he went through on Earth after he sees his rewards in heaven. That still does not make any of this ok. What if I told you that for a trillion dollars, I was going to torture someone you loved in the worst way possible, but that you'll forget all about it a few days after the payment is made? Would you take the deal? I wouldn't. But we weren't even given a choice to exist or not.That, to my mind is perfect justice, and the fairest possible course for all concerned. There will be absolutely no room left for any to say "Ah, but what if?" because all has been tried and failed over the last 6,000 years. That past suffering, and it will be past by then, will soon be forgotten, and can never be repeated. “God, I am getting raped, help!”“It's ok you'll forget about this in the afterlife. I'm just gonna let the rapist carry on for now. Love you.”Btw, Homo Sapiens have been around for well over 6000 years.That is the basis of my case, that not only was the option God chose the fairest to all in the long term I believe that this 'solution' is a solution to a problem that did not need to exist since an All-Powerful and Self-Sufficient being should by definition have no needs, wants or desires. Furthermore this 'solution' is one that could be attributed to a crazed, needy entity with poor planning skills. Not a fair, just and wise entity. This is a solution that has failed, since more souls have clearly taken Satan's side than God's side. This is by no means a successful solution. All of this does not even begin to address the fact that natural disasters do not need to exist in order to facilitate free-will either.I wish I could respond to every sentence in your argument, but 10,000 characters is not enough this time.
