Early abrahamic philosophers go over the god question like this, basically saying that if God/Yahweh/Allah exists and is all-powerful and doesn’t stop suffering, then he can’t possibly be good. Other religious philosophers figured life is a soul building experience, therefore the net good of making positive choices is greater than if everything was perfect by default.
Not really a spoiler, but here’s a warning anyway…
The way the problem is set up in Pluribus is insanely well done.
I love the way you put it in that last line.
