I'm always baffled by atheists who bring children into this world where, apparently, there is a so-called "problem" of pain.

Why would they do that?

Because it points out the callouness of your god's idle hands when it comes to the suffering of the most innocent among us, which is in itself an argument against a benevolent god.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
