There is no evil.
There are just acts and people that others describe as evil. It's a subjective judgment that people make.
Then its a paradox to use the argument from evil to dismiss God. It has to acknowledge him and deny him at the same time.
I am not using the argument from evil to dismiss your god. I am saying that there are no gods for other reasons, mainly that the very concept cannot be defined and that what we know about physics means that any possible being that you could hope to describe as a god cannot exist.
I am dismissing the 'problem of evil' because I see no reason for it to be a problem if it is a subjective opinion.
The two are entirely unrelated. So no paradox.
