Four arguments against the existence of God

[CapnAwesome]

I don't understand most people's hard-on for the problem of evil. If I were a Theist it would be easy "God isn't omnibenevolent' Done. It doesn't really do anything at all against Theism in general.

Then why include it at all? Your list should be 3 good arguments and one that sucks. I really think the best is number 2. Why in the world would God be hidden. I've yet to hear an explanation that even close to satisfies myself for an answer to that.

Because it's still a rather strong argument against the majority of gods people actually care about.

That really only applys in the west. Sometimes I feel like a broken record on these forums when I have to remind people that the western world, where people believe in an omni-benevolent Christian God, is the minority of the world. Even lots of western Christians believe in a wrathful God in case of conservative Christians or believe in a more deistic style God in case of the more liberal Christians. I'd have a hard time being convinced (although I'm always open to evidence) that omnibenevolence is a trait that even a majority of western Christians believe in.

That being said Muslims believe that God is all just but most certainly don't believe that God is all good. I had a whole thread and discussion with Rayaan about this ages ago. That's a massive part of the population.

Also if you stripped away what people believe and just took the argument on face value without considering the audience is does nothing against Theism itself. It just is an argument against omnibenevolence.
