Since the "God Hypotheses" advanced by all major theistic religions do posit a perfectly-good and perfectly-powerful Creator, this argument falsifies those religions.
There were two things I didn't see in your post:
1) Admission of your part in the suffering experienced by others.
Because that's a disenenuous red herring.
carl wrote:a) Much (not all) suffering in this world occurs when we don't do our part to help relieve it.
Failure to adress the point has been noted.
carl wrote:b) We are the cause of some significant suffering of those around us, due to our hurtful words and actions, thus making us a part of the problem.
Continued failure to adress the point has been noted.
These inane herrings you keep flinging won't hide the fact that you cannot adress the point being made carl.

Why did God create suffering in the first place if he's so all loving and omnipotent?
Answer the question carl.
