Now I’ll say right now I’m an atheist, so when I see the zebra get ripped to shreds by a lion, while I find that sad for the zebra, I accept it as a simple fact of nature. Its evolution. Its neither good nor evil, virtuous or selfish it just is. But if someone believes in God, they have to believe God wants that, and a being that wants unnecessary suffering cannot be a loving one its a contradiction.
1. God is all powerful and can prevent suffering, but chooses not to. He is NOT loving.
2. God is all loving, and wishes to prevent suffering, but it is not within his power to do so. He is NOT all powerful.
3. God does NOT exist.

That’s it, that’s your options logically it MUST be one of those 3, as there is no 4th option that doesn’t contradict itself. You could have a dick God, or a useless God, or no God at all, but you cannot have an omnipotent, omni benevolent God and suffering (especially by the most vulnerable and helpless). You can have any combination of 2, but not all 3 at the same time. The Christian God —or any other God which is supposedly benevolent AND omnipotent does not and cannot exist. It doesn’t make sense.
