Good #3: Soul-building theodicy — suffering provides opportunities to develop character virtues (sacrifice, courage, compassion, forgiveness). Good #4: Robin Collins' connection-building theodicy — virtuous responses to evil create valuable relationships that grow infinitely over time.

Cameron uses Thor (Marvel) as an illustration: arrogance → banishment → suffering → character growth → worthiness. These virtues (sacrifice, courage, compassion, forgiveness) require suffering to exist. Robin Collins argues that relationships built through shared response to evil have infinite value — creating connections only possible through adversity. Drew's claim that this makes earth better than heaven is a non sequitur.
