god can not morally absolve himself of operating out of the system he creates to the massively imbalanced scale which our observations show would be necessary for him to do, granting what we see and what the truth claims are for those who present his case, paradox or not. this is a universally understood problem, hence the wrestling matches and theodices since the logical problem of evil was introduced. there has been some minor logical victories on the side of the apologists, but they fail to satisfy since they are based on points and not the meat of the issue.

granting the basic premises, it's not our problem, we're human...

the only way out for God is to come to understand that if such a being exists he is not all loving, all knowing, or all powerful.

he may be all loving and very very very powerful, for example, but not all three.

personally I find that to be rather refreshing, because it makes things like darfur or cambodia or the maafa, or the countless millions of things like that that occur on the micro level to humanity more understandable.
