Your personal take on “The Problem of Evil?”

You have two options, either your god watches terrible things happen and does nothing to stop them or he can't stop them, that either makes him immoral or impotent. A third explanation would be that he doesn't stop evil because he can't because he doesn't exist.

Well, there’s a fourth option, God’s evil and think it’s funny.

From my perspective yes, evil is a problem, even if I were to accept premise 3 evil would still be present. Perhaps I could have done a better job connecting David’s argument from nonbelief with the problem of evil but my the question I am driving at is how it affects you.

How do you deal with evil or the thought of injustice when it arises?
How do you feel towards Christians who say “God is Love?”

Probably, most importantly (what I’m trying to get at), was there an occasion in your life when you saw (heard, read) something you felt was immoral, and concluded from it “there is no God?”
Call me Josh, it's fine.
