I understand that, but fact remains: God knew exactly who would go to hell and who would live through major pain throughout their lives before they existed. To me, creating them in the first place is cruel. I wouldn't adopt kittens if I knew I couldn't afford buying them food, or if I somehow (through divine powers) knew that they would not eat the food that I had to offer. In that case, it would be cruel to adopt them, as I see it.

The pain only comes after something wrong is done.
From your point of view there would be no life as people would suffer. So you`d rather throw something good away because of the pain that could be avoided?



It's not that people suffer, but that some suffer a lot more (well, some even for an ethernity) than others while some can do more about their situation than others.

Going back to my above example: I would love to adopt kittens despite knowing that some of them would go through inevitable pain at times. But if I knew that some of them would not accept my food, I would choose to not adopt those specific kittens. God should resonate the same way with the people who are going to hell, and choose not to create them in the first place.
