I was an atheist already as a pre-teen because I was never offered any satisfactory answer this very obvious question. I've chilled out about the militant atheism since then, but I still think people are being overly credulous when they invoke the idea that a benevolent force created this world. There's just so much suffering that is up to pure chance.
Ok but what about the beetles????
The beetles experience a lot of unjust suffering too :(
If anything, the suffering that creatures in nature feel is even more damning, because it's so widespread, and you can't make this "oh, it's all about free will" argument.
