Humans are not the only beings who are in pain and suffering here, thanks to humans.
I take issue with any so-called Creator (though, by referring to the source of consciousness or existence thus may be anthropomorphizing). I personally do not like the way free will is wielded here. If humanity wants or needs to suffer for whatever reasons, fine (though it is not easy to witness). But when humans cause suffering beyond their species, I contend that is a cruel system. I would think humanity could learn compassion within its own species, since humanity is all humanity (for the most part) seems to be concerned about. Though I am open to other interpretations.
