That's because if there is no God there is no good or evil. Yes, I know atheists have tried ad nauseam to come up with arguments for why there can be intrinsic good and evil without the "something else" outside setting the rules as to what constitutes good and evil. But all of the arguments fail.
You can't argue that there is no God because God does evil because if there is no God there is no distinction between good and evil to begin with. And yes I know there are people who think you can argue otherwise. But you really can't.
As you well know, the nature of all truth is Paradoxical
