It's an ad, not a recommendation. As far as I know, Google doesn't just serve ads for businesses that don't pay for them.

I see what you're saying, but I still don't understand why the suffering has to occur here. If you have the data to recreate the suffering, you can just move on to the paradise without repeating it.

You've come up with this scenario, but it doesn't address my initial point that a god who created and allows suffering can suck it.

Yes. Recreating a 'relative paradise' where people have to suffer over and over would be worse than having to live it once. If you could recreate the universe, would you make people suffer? Forever?

What the fuck even is this argument? There's no whitewashing if you start over every time anyway. Just make it better from the beginning.

Not OP, but my fury in this instance would be because an omnipotent god allowed for all the suffering that happens to all living creatures when we could all just live with love and joy in our hearts, and god chose this instead.
