Hello, @john1981. I appreciate your comment here.
While I wasn't going for heavy logic in this post, rather a more personal perspective, I do have to chime in now and say that there are better logical responses to the problem than the simple one you post here.
Without saying this is "the ultimate," I think one paragraph in the treatise I linked above is superior to the logic you've presented:
"What would it look like for God to have a morally sufficient reason for allowing evil? Let's first consider a down-to-earth example of a morally sufficient reason a human being might have before moving on to the case of God. Suppose a gossipy neighbor were to tell you that Mrs. Jones just allowed someone to inflict unwanted pain upon her child. Your first reaction to this news might be one of horror. But once you find out that the pain was caused by a shot that immunized Mrs. Jones' infant daughter against polio, you would no longer view Mrs. Jones as a danger to society. "
From "The Logical Problem of Evil"
@creatr Thank you.
Certainly we would not think Mrs. Jones is a bad person, but that is because we understand the short term pain her child went through. But in life there are affliction and suffering that defy any logic. What about SIDs, or parasites that force their way into children's eyes causing blindness, or many others. Clearly, if God is everything somepeople think, he could have and still could create a world where that doesn't happen and we still have free will. To say, well we don't understand it so God has a plan, in my mind, is a bit of a cop out. One of two options is the case.
Either way, he is either limited, cruel, ir uncaring.
Thank you
