But some animals living far from humans, il forest and oceans, some we never pay attention to... They too, suffer some sicknesses and the too early lost of their kids. Some get eaten slowly from the inside by parasites, some who did no sin die in some long and painfull cancer…

How does an almighty and perfectly good god does not just allow it, but decided to create this like that, checked it, and found that it is good?

Would the world be worse if innocent animal kids (whose are given no free will) could die with less pain?

‘lol animals can’t feel things. They don’t have souls.’

Is how they justify it.

But "he" "gave them" a nervous system so they are sensible to torture.

Also, the eternal damnation of human babies who die at birth, before baptism, is not that easy to defend as "perfectly good" nor "moraly the best that can be"… Thanks it is a "forgiving god of love", else the world would be harsh…

Lucifer: Maybe animals also have souls and free will and are being tested as well, and the human only thing is a conceit. Maybe God's a dick (and / or). You decide.

Well, the option "there is not such a thing as an almighty and perfectly good God" seems the best to me... At most I admit Spinoza's definition of god, but I just give it an other name…
