Question: Why do atheists always argue about the existence of suffering in the world as meaning God doesn't exist when it doesn't prove anything?

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.

Similarly, a religious person can easily refute the argument

Do people of NYC drive around Central Park all the time? Is there any subway tunnel to cross the park quickly? Is it annoying for people and does it cause traffic?

Existence of evil => God doesn’t exist

For some atheists, however, the argument is convincing.

A rational person can easily refute a flat-earther argument that the surface of the Earth is not curved. For a flat-earther, however, his (or her) argument against a curved earth, is convincing.

Is Florida now unsurvivable because it's an oven due to climate change? It's 11:48 am on May 30th and the heat index in SoFla is 100. I can see it going up to over 130 by July.
