Irrelevant, distracting response.
If we were all "clouds," or "robots," no one would have any legitimate complaint to lodge with the Creator regarding "suffering." There would be no suffering!
As the OP states:
"For unless you want a world in which mankind is like a cloud or a robot, then allowing evil is a necessary good [...]"
If that's a genuine offer, then I opt for "cloud."
But the OP was being ingenuous - thinking that no one would "call" him on it.
Regards,
My response is not irrelevant, since its follows that, faced with the proposition, "unless you want a world in which mankind is like a cloud or a robot, then allowing evil is a necessary good," then since you chose "Anything to avoid evil, misery, and suffering" then perhaps you only want a Stepford wife, or she should want an android.
Thus the question is whether you are being disingenuous or really want a world in which mankind is like a cloud or a robot.
