Do you agree with my definition of "evil"?
I thank you for your opinion.

I'm looking for a video from a theistic point of view that doesn't shirk away from the existence of evil but offers a reasonable explanation why an all-powerful and perfectly loving deity is compatible with suffering and lack of divine intervention. (Preferably one that doesn't tender weak arguments such as human free will and the like).

If your video delivers on that kelly, I'll watch it.
If the ‘evil’ that you are referring to is not objectively real but merely constitutes subjective opinions your argument that ‘evil’ is not compatible with an all powerful and perfectly loving deity is self defeating. If on the other hand ‘evil’ is objectively real how do you as an atheist explain the existence of evil and how do you find meaning in suffering?

I am 'never' speaking to you again about objectivity.

Print that off and stick it on your fridge.

Atheism can’t handle the notion of objective truth.

Atheism can't handle repetitive and tedious theists. I'll give you that.

When a question has you bamboozled simply label it as repetitive and tedious. Well played. I’ll give you that.

I mentioned this earlier same speaker so this too can be ignored by those who want to talk about a video they choose to not look at.

You have a point? Of course the example isn't one you can use everywhere, it does however work where I used it.
What on earth does this mean?

I'll give you a clue:
heat is not temperature

You can engage in the topic for discussion, or come back as you are doing as nothing but be a insulting person whose only input is attempt to put others down. Can you raise the level of your discussion away from attacking others, are you able to do that, or is this all anyone can except to get when your name appears?

Temperature is a measurement expressing hot and cold, which is the level of heat in the room.

Every example used for one thing doesn't always work elsewhere.
