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.

What are your thoughts about Hulk Hogan at the Republican National Convention in support of Trump and ripping his shirt off? Did he exaggerate?

For some atheists, however, the argument is convincing.

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.
