    why would a perfect God create a universe at all?

    God is perfect – its creations are not.

    And before you ask, “Why God created such flawed creations then if He is so perfect?”

    Because only God is perfect.

      So what you’re saying is God is perfect, and made their imperfect creations to watch their suffering?

        Simply put – if God wanted to create perfect, flawless creations He have created us Gods. And we aren’t Gods.

        “b-but why we suffer, why (insert negative outcome here)”

        Because we aren’t God(s), but God creatures. For the same reason dogs cannot talk and rationale like us – we suffer, and God does not.

          We didn’t create dogs though and often we try to minimize their suffering as much as possible.

            We haven’t, but there’s this thing called “hierarchy”. There is God, and its subordinates (angels, archangels, etc), and all the way under theres us – humans. And below humans, the rest of the Gods creations – dogs, cats, etc. And the logic behind this is diversity and beauty. And yes, even on a flaw (suffering, as mentioned here like a some sort of Gods curse rather than our “natural flaw” “why we suffer?”, etc) can bestow beauty on its own. Why? Because everything have sense when we acknowledge that God is behind all suffering – no matter how critical it is.Because He is Our Father, and The One and Only. We are His Children, and in suffering is how we learn that we are flawed and we need His Guidance.

            I kinda tried to avoid being “biblical”, but I had to in the end, heh.
