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?

They bring up the argument because they find it convincing.

Similarly, a religious person can easily refute the argument

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.

For some atheists, however, the argument is convincing.
