So you'd have no sacred texts to assert that God is all-good and no reason to believe it. How would that belief system even have a problem of evil? If you get rid of omnibenevolence or omniscience, you have no problem of evil.


You have to assume God is all-loving. On what basis are you making that assumption?

I don't believe in a Creator due to science or a philosophical argument, I believe more so on emotional/spiritual/mystical reasons. In that belief, I do believe in traits like love and wisdom. Besides, without a good will intention, there doesn't really seem like to be a reason for the creation of the universe.
Suffering can only increase by an omnibenevolent, perfect being creating a universe harmful to mortal life. So...

The ultimate torture chamber?
