Actually, I want to argue on the basis of problem of evil.
This argument:
If there was a benevolent Creator, there would not exist unnecessary suffering or suffering that would not bring about a greater good.
There exists suffering that is unnecessary and doesn't bring about a greater good.
Therefore a benevolent Creator does not exist.
Seems very strong to me. And I think my defense I wrote before of the problem of evil, doesn't address this argument.
So I've been thinking of all sorts of unnecessary evils that don't bring about a greater good, and aren't necessary for the system to bring about a heroes heart.
I want to argue against a benevolent Creator, play Devil's advocate, not just the Christian God.
