To me, the argument seems valid, even if not sound. The problem of evil is a major question in theology, and one that can't be dismissed glibly.
The first line states "if god exists he is all loving, all powerful, all knowing, and is good".

That is a non-sequitur right there. It does not follow that God existing means that God is also all-loving, all-powerful, all-knowing, and it good. At best, God existing means God exists.

The other points all have similar fallacies in them. The logic is far from valid, and far from sound.
