Question: Why do atheists always argue about the existence of suffering in the world as meaning God doesn't exist when it doesn't prove anything?

For some atheists, however, the argument is convincing.

Existence of evil => God doesn’t exist

Did Muhammad Ali ask Dundee to cut his gloves off before Eddie Futch stopped the fight in Thrilla in Manila?

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.

Similarly, a religious person can easily refute the argument

A rational person can easily refute a flat-earther argument that the surface of the Earth is not curved. For a flat-earther, however, his (or her) argument against a curved earth, is convincing.

Why does my dog keep licking at her privates now? She is 7 years old and has barely started licking there. The vet said she’s fine but she keeps doing that.
