Neither. You read into my text ideas that were not present.
I assumed you were talking about the evil argument stemming from the Bible or other Holy book. I understand you're talking about something else entirely, but excuse me if I've never heard such a dumb argument in favor of an atheistic claim. I can see why you would think it's the worst argument, and with good reason.
I've just never seen anyone dumb enough to make such a claim.
I guess it's a "Woops" on my part.

And that sir, is what Atheists do when they use the argument from evil. That is simply all I was saying, which is why I cited it as one of the worst examples of Atheist arguments. The rest was your obfuscation based on your eisegesis.
I have never heard that argument, and it would be simply moronic to make such a statement. I was making the point that you didn't understand the premise on which the argument is based. If you've spoken to atheists who make this claim, I'd be surprised how they got dressed in the morning.
