Correct, and thanks.....I misread the post. My comment really didn't make sense now that I look at it again....

By those who say "there is no God because this world offers terrible situations" is not a well thought out statement. To ponder the presence of God and his interaction with the world requires said ponderer to assume, for a moment, that God does indeed exist. When that person then decides there is no God because "things are not of God because innocent suffer" is lazy and of mixed logic. Things are bad because humans are inherenly driven to sin. That's just my opinion.
Okay, well, you are correct that first sentence is not sufficient to show the paradox.

However, isn't the Christian God considered all powerful AND all good?
Then why does evil exist? Either God is not all good, or not all powerful.
