"Without God" is a meaningless thing to say, since any kind of "with God" involves intercession by human beings. In other words, with or without God, we are dealing with preferences decided on by people.

How do we decide what well-being is? Are you serious? Is it difficult for you to distinguish between slavery or freedom? Between pain and lack of pain? Between hunger and no hunger? Are you having a hard time deciding between ignorance and education?

The devil is in the details. But to suggest that without a sky-alien we cannot begin to grapple with the problem is so absurd that it beggars description.
