Turning the tables on atheism

I can go pretty much any direction you like with it, being a right handed atheist who has a problem with evil.  I don't have any traumatic obstacles in my life preventing belief, though, so that's a wash I guess.  If you think that more people would believe in your silly god if their life were better in some undefined way - that sounds like gods problem.  

Okay. So, as an atheist who has a problem with evil, do you have an argument from evil that conclusively proves that god doesn't exist ? Of course not. Now, considering the absence of such arguments AND the possibility of reconciliation, you cannot be an atheist based on the existence of evil alone, you either have other reasons -like not accepting the arguments in favor of god- or you have an irrational position.

Of course it's something about people who find arguments for god compelling, I thought I mentioned "servants of God" often enough to make that clear. The thread is not about proving the existence of God, I don't understand why some here are shouting about the argument being bad or something, it's not my problem that you misunderstood what the argument is aiming for.

Let me hazard a guess.  You're stumbling between the very different subjects of people who don't believe in gods, and people who reject your religion for it's barbarity, inadequacy, or idiocy.  People who, even if they believed in a god..would still reject your religion for those reasons.  So, pretty much every other god botherer..and some right handed atheists.

What do you mean by "death cult" ?  Feel free to throw unsubstantiated claims about Islam being inadequate, barbaric. Just recall Hitchens' famous quote: "That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence".
