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?

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.

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.
