"[...] has been enjoined upon you while it is hateful to you. But perhaps you hate a thing and it is good for you; and perhaps you love a thing and it is bad for you. And Allah Knows, while you know not."

Surat Al-Baqarah 2:13 says:

"And when it is said to them, "Believe as the people have believed," they say, "Should we believe as the foolish have believed?" Unquestionably, it is they who are the foolish, but they know [it] not."

Your reasoning will never work to convince a Muslim because the author of the Qur'an took care of trashing you before you even had a chance to make such an argument. You have to read that to get an idea what its weak points are and play on those alone or else you're just making their faith stronger because you validate these verses ^.^

It's not about faith though, anyone can write the Quran if it promises dominance over the masses. We got huge nuclear explosions happening outside our galaxy and we are still thinking god cares about what we ate and who we had sex with. Stupid!

The argument of care is flawed though. Omnipotent god would have time to care about anything no matter how small or insignificant.
Also omniscient god would know everything and therefore have ability to care about little things.
But human suffering is not a little thing in my opinion.
