re: question Hashem can do anything, and could have created the world however He wanted. He chose to create it in a way that people suffer.
So in this mans mind, that leaves him two options : Hashem is bad or cruel cvs. Or there is no G-d. He goes with the latter.
My answer is really emuna based.
Anyone have a good intellectual answer, not emuna based?
Ask him- if everything was good then what would be the point in life?
