No great loss to mankind!

The administration of justice in the UK is in a pretty sorry state when you have to rely on hardened criminals to do what do-gooding middle class lefties had banned!
 
Never understand why a god so powerful and all knowing, who could part the sea, create the heavens and the earth. Sits around letting two small girls die. Not sure his judgement really means much
You're working on the presumption that the here and now is all we've got. If there's an eternity, and the possibility that it can either be spent with your creator in a place 'where there are no more tears' or without Him in the absence of any good whatsoever, the perspective is slightly different.

Also, most of us know a decent amount about the wrongs of the world and have an ability to act in at least some of it. I read something along the lines of this dialogue a few years back:
'when I die, I'm going to ask God how he can allow all this suffering and evil if He's so good and powerful.'
'I'm afraid He might ask me the same question.'

Plus if there is no God, the concept of good/evil and suffering are ultimately meaningless human constructs because there would be no such thing as an absolute moral standard. I refuse to believe that their murders were only subjectively wrong or to trivialise suffering.

The 'problem of evil' is an appeal to a universal morality which is something beyond nature. It is in itself an appeal to the supernatural.
