'Why does God allow suffering?'

God allows suffering for the same reason you do. If there were no suffering or pain we wouldn't be alive. It's part of a package deal.

Unless you're talking about the kind of suffering or pain we get when our hand sends us a signal to remove it from a flame I make no sense of your answer.

Empathetic people with decent impulses don't allow suffering in the way that God allows it.  Instead, they try to prevent or alleviate suffering where and when it's within their power.  And they would do far more of it if they had God's power.
