What is our understanding of benevolence? A consience that is always sweet and that considers pain evil?
For an atheist cartoon it seems rather odd to consider pain/suffering as evil. Since atheism is based on naturalism, where is the foundation for that standard? As far as I was told, death is a part of the mechanisms for our existence (evolution and survival of the fittest).
