Lakewood: As I said in the other thread (before you joined), your Kashya is not a Kashya. Let’s boil it down step-by-step.

Given: G-d is All-Powerful, All-Knowing, Benevolent, and Good.

Given: Bad things happen to innocent and/or good people.

Conclusion: One of our two givens must be incorrect. Since we see the bad things that happen, it must be that G-d either doesn’t exist or isn’t one of those things.

The problem is that that presupposes a lack of any eternal incentives. If we trust that said All-Powerful, All-Knowing, Benevolent, and Good G-d is all of these things, then it stands to reason that He has ways to make things up to those who suffer. Just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
