    Isn’t there that philosophical argument about how God can’t be both all-good and all-powerful? If he’s all-good, he would have to stop bad things.

    It’s been well over a decade since philosophy class, but this reminded me of that argument.

    Forgot who made it though.

      Epicurus.

      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?
