If there was a benevolent Creator, there would not exist unnecessary suffering or suffering that would not bring about a greater good.
There exists suffering that is unnecessary and doesn't bring about a greater good.
Therefore a benevolent Creator does not exist.

This isn't exactly the same as the two other arguments "the extent of evil is too much" or "if there is any evil.."

I'm curious. If not, I would suggest someone takes it up with him and argue on that basis since he doesn't want to debate with me about it.

I'm saving my answer for the debate. Someone has agreed to debate me on this thread, we are just working out the details.

If it is any of the good posters here, you're doomed-but of course, you won't recognize it, even at the death blow.

It might be helpful to rephrase your debate challenge as an
assertion, instead of a question.

Assertion: It's rational to believe in God.

RE: Someone debate me
Since your arguments to date have been both facile and lacking in substance I fail to see the value in formally debating you.

You're just another pigeon on the chessboard.

GOD ALLOWS US TO SUFFER FOR A GOOD REASON!!!!

It is based on sin or how sin started and it is not like the bible story. The bible talks about stuff like a war in heaven and the sin that came from Adam and Eve. Yes there was a war in heaven and it was the spirit of sin that started it.
God’s spirit is to control every thought, to think and do only good things that benefit everyone.
Our spirit or sin wants to be free and to do things that are only good for ourselves. So we love doing bad things toward others. God is control and God has control over all things. And we are free and we want no control over what we do and think.

ALL BAD THINGS ARE THE RESULT OF LACK OF CONTROL OVER SOMETHING!!!!

Our spirit being blind to sin we must suffer very badly for a very long time. When it starts interfering with sinning, then we will question sin. When you see truth you will see sin and what is causing suffering. Only then can you give up sin to stop being apart of its suffering.

You're fine as long as you don't make eye contact or sudden moves, Cinj. I think.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
