It's as equally weak for theism because you can't demonstrate the alleged truth of any of the answers you supposedly have. Compared to all the other problems of religion, our biggest weakness is just one tiny star in religion's sky of critical and fundamental flaws.

What it does, successfully, is disprove the notion that your god is an omnipotent being of pure good. RE: What are some good checkmate arguments against religion?

I honestly cannot understand why people get so hung up on it, as though it is the end all.
