Philosophy
God wants us to experience a minuscule amount of pain in earthly life in order to allow us to conceive the infinite good that eternity will give us.
If we had nothing negative to which we could compare heaven with, it would provoke such happiness and nourishment.

Premise 2 is wrong.
Why do you define suffering as bad? Lots of people chose to suffer and enjoy it. I do, when I run marathons.
It seems you haven't thought this through. Tell us, when you define something as 'bad', what precisely do you mean by 'bad'? I want the definition you use, not merely an example of something you might define as bad. Surely you don't judge things to be 'good' or 'bad' without knowing what you mean?
Moreover, if we accept the hypothetical prepositions that God is all-knowing and all-powerful, then it must follow that God knows better than you or I in what good and bad consist. Consequently, if God, being all-powerful, causes things to happen in the world that we perceive as bad, then it can only be our perception or definition of 'bad' that is mistaken and in fact bad, because we are not all-knowing, and he is.
define all-good, all-powerful, and all-knowing
>All good
This is a dubious aspect of most theistic gods.
>Premise 2
This premise is the most dubious premise when you consider actual theologies. For instance, I think it's in Jeremiah where it says God will mold the actions of disobedient and evil people to his own will like a potter molds clay. This sounds like a God who does not outright prohibit suffering or evil yet molds it into a perfect will.

So in your view, famine and cancer are in fact good things because God hasn't eradicated them?
