Argument for atheism from necessary evil

[Tiberius]

It's certainly ambiguous, but I assume he meant the traditional monotheistic god. The other points are all entailed by a Judeo-Islamo-Christian-nutter viewpoint, but not for all definitions of god, of course. A deist god can't be touched by the problem of evil.

Yeah, and my point was, as it stands, the argument is logically invalid. If he'd started out by saying "the traditional monotheistic God is all-loving, all-powerful..." and then concluded with "therefore the traditional monotheistic God doesn't exist", we might be getting somewhere. However, he didn't. He made an argument against the existence of a general God, using non-sequiturs that simply do not stand up.
