This is a common feature of critiques of Schopenhaur; Philipp Mainländer advanced the position that God created the universe to end its atemporal suffering, exploding and binding itself temporally in order that its suffering should eventually cease. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/God_is_dead#Role_in_the_philos...
