This is a quote from Epicurus, a Greek philosopher and to me is a pretty solid theory on denial of a god or atleas, a christian god... what are your opinions?

"Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?"

Wow.

That definatly has validity.

I have kinda had the same philosophy. If god is anti evil, then why does it exist?

if he is willing and able to destroy evil then why not why would he let his 'children' live lives of missery because of the decisions of others? and why wouldnt he make it so we wanted to make the correct dessisions? why should we have to combat our basic human nature to look after ourseelves first and formost
