The true paradox is in so called problem of evil. How come, for example, that small innocent children can horribly suffer in this world, with Omni-benevolent, omnipotent, omniscient, omnipresent god?

Exactly. Take the example of a child suffering from cancer. Are they suffering because God cannot stop it? Then he is not omnipotent.

Are they suffering because God doesn't know about it? Then he's not omniscient.

Are they suffering because God just doesn't care? Then he's not omni-benevolent.

A god as described by most religious people, especially Christians, cannot exist while at the same time suffering exists. And don't give me the "free will" or "challenge" bull crap because a 5 year old with cancer cannot exercise their free will because of the cancer and they do not deserve that kind of pain. It's cruel to "challenge" a parents faith by making an innocent child suffer.

Yeah - Christians don't even have resurrection to fall back on here. At least Hindus can cite karmic debt - the idea that little Timmy, who is suffering from leukemia, is just reaping the reward of being an absolute bastard in a former life.

Hindu do not have this Omni-omni-omni god. But Christian do. One excuse could be that if child suffers and die then it gets to heaven. But then, why would Omni-benevolent god would put chile through that?
