The actual argument:
1. If a god designed the universe then the behavior of the universe reflects the intent of the designer.
2. If said god is omnibenevolent, suffering should not occur as the result of natural forces.
3. If suffering as the result of natural forces does occur, then said god knowingly designed the universe to behave in such a way as to cause suffering, and is not omnibenevolent.
4. Suffering occurs as the result of natural forces.
5. Therefore any designer god, if it exists, is not omnibenevolent.
