My personal take on the problem of evil is, that all such "problems" are not really even necessary to disprove any god, although they can be helpful I suppose. One of my sons decided religion was bullshit loosely based on some such absurdity.
After a while though, many of us I suspect, view these arguments as secondary to the primary religious problem:
The complete lack of any compelling argument *for* the existence of the god d'jour. Every god appears to be indistinguishable from any other. Nothing more than stories in books.
Theists have had thousands of years. Every known argument torn to shreds; all sufficiently refuted. No verifiable evidence of any supernatural realms or claims. Nothing. Nada. Zip.
So, until the theist can demonstrate the object of discussion even exists, all such secondary problems are little more than intellectual penis flapping. All sizzle. No steak.
