If there is an omnipotent god, he either didn't directly create us, is indifferent to us, or if he did directly make us, he likes seeing us suffer. Creating severely flawed beings, then making laws they can't follow is cruel. Making the default existence one of pain and suffering is cruel. Making us so we constantly abuse each other by nature is cruel.

The purpose of life is not pleasure, but its also not suffering.
Everyone is capable of following the law, but no one is capable without God.
God is eternally merciful in that he even allows the wicked to live, but in allowing the wicked to live and do evil, others must suffer. but their endurance in suffering is rewarded. Evil suffering, is due to the absence of God from peoples lives.
