Four arguments against the existence of God

That's what some of them do, but it doesn't work. If this world is the creation of a god who knows all and can do anything, then there are no such things as accidents. All suffering, cruelty and evil in the world exists explicitly because that god desires to see suffering, cruelty and evil. Either it's there because the god is actively making it happen, or because it arranged things specifically for it to happen, already knowing it would.

The closest thing there is to an actual counter to the Problem of Evil is to assert that God can't be evil because ultimate might makes ultimate right.
