If something in the bible is merely an opinion and can be disproven, then the counter-factuals can be presented.
Hmm...I guess the stereotype about theists not understanding logic is right after all. It appears you know something that has gone way over my head. Please teach me.
Give an example of a "counter factual" that is presented to refute an opinion.
I'll give you a sample to take aim at.
"Chocolate tastes better than vanilla."
Don't worry...I'll wait.
Sales statistics and market research shows that XXX number of customers prefer the flavour of X better than Y.

An atheist parent who deliberately brings a child into a world where suffering is a fact - it is necessary for Darwinian survival - is directly responsible for the suffering of that child who, if they were not born, would not suffer.
Real quick: explain "Darwinian survival."
Avoiding extinction.
Doing what is competitively necessary to ensure your (selfish) DNA gets passed on.
