A second problem with Hasker's argument is that, although he
claims that he is arguing that
God should allow gratuitous

evils are not really gratuitous, because they contribute to «
God's intention to make us responsible moral individuals,» which from his perspective is a more important consideration than the relative balance of enjoyment and suffering in the world.
