Assuming a Loving God by definition is a force that would
let no bad things happen, THEN observations of bad
things without rhyme or reason proves the non-existence
of such a God.
That's circular reasoning, because the final conclusion
is based on the definition you have of what a God,
if there is one, should be.
That's a syllogism.
Likewise those who do believe in God also employ the
same circular reasoning, the same format of a syllogism.
In fact all arguments for and against God follow the same
format of defining a God first AND THEN observing events
that do or do not correspond to that definition.
It all depends on that first assumption, that definition.
