From my personal standpoint? I'm not going to preach to you guys here. :P But if you go back to the book of Genesis there's your answer for me.
As for your wording as an all powerful "good" god, that can be taken out of context. I agree with my last post when I said someone can call god good, evil, or whatever. I just feel god has the right to be however he choses to be, my opinion of him is positive, but that doesn't mean everything he does is meant to be agreed with by everybody.
Think of killing for example.. the word in itself is seen as evil by most people. But there's a lot of circumstances where the same people would approve of it to prove a point or to protect themselves, or even to punish those who do something equally bad. Every single freedom and right a person has in the world was gained by someone dying for it, and someone killing for it. It just depends on what side of the fence you're on.
But yeah, for my opinion suffering read Genesis.
