A lot of the philosophical tangles that develop re. omnipotence vs. evil and suffering pre-suppose that the sole purpose of this life is everyone to exist in a state of unearned, unmitigated bliss.
​
That need not be the case even if the universe (in a metaphysical sense) is ultimately good.
​
Maybe the goal is to find the path to bliss regardless of the circumstances.
