a challenge to those who feel intelligent
I did quote my source. Look harder at my last post

Therefore,
3. There is no God.
Supporting arguement:
A: A morally good being prevents all the evil that he has the power and oppurtunity to prevent. (By definition of goodness)
B. An omnipotent being has the power to prevent all evil. (By definition of omnipotence)
C An omniscient, omnipresent, and eternal being who is the creater of all has the oppurtunity to prevent all evil. (By definition of all ther operative concepts)
D. God is, by definition, omnipotent, omniscient, eternal, and creator of all else. (By the standard, developed concept of God)
Therefore,
E. If there were a god, there would be no evil in the world. (And this conclusion is identical to premise 1 of the main arguement, which was in need of support.)
