Argument from incredulity; you just can't think of why would a deity allow evil.

Vegas Casinos work, because they base their games on ratio of win and loss. There is no business that seeks to lose money, especially a casino. The concept of God is horrid, it wreaks of our own species projective narcissism. Humans need a villain, like Superman needs Lex Luthor or Darth Vader Needs Yoda. 

It isn't an argument on my part for "no rules" or a 'free for all", but just in the context that the idea of morality, compassion and non violence are a patent owned by one religion, one nation or one political party is bullshit. All humans need resources, all humans compete over those resources, and all humans have only one planet to live on.

Yet the master (only) source text is rife with cruelties, contradictions, supernatural intervention stories, and promises of eternal bliss and reward for the incessantly credulous.

I believe the question should run more along the line of, "Why are the rest of us still even listening to believers who try to square the circle regarding a holy book's divine provenance?"

So true.

"God did it" is the biggest bullshit scam ever. That argument is like a used car salesman telling you the rust bucket they are trying to pawn off on you is a  Lamborghini when you should know it is a Hindenburg of a blimp going down in flames argument. "OH THE STUPIDITY".

Religion is always trying to fit a square peg into round nonsense. 

Ultimately religion is, like politics and economics and race, are all excuses for humans to justify control.
