[QUOTE="Dale00, post: 2790396, member: 688"] He is omniscient. He saw the total amount of suffering when man first sinned. That is why He was angry in the garden of eden. Certainly it is noble to attempt to reduce suffering. But it is not logical that the very highest purpose should be to eliminate suffering. That is your subjective judgement. You might look into how different cultures view suffering and how philosophers view suffering. When I was in south Asia one of the perplexing sayings that stuck with me was, "Pain and happiness are one". [/QUOTE]
