“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?”
Epicurus
Personally, I believe that the concept of an omnipotent, almighty being to be absolutely ludicrous in every conceivable way. |
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
^ I would come down to this out of the 4.
Evil comes from the lack of Good, just like Cold comes from the lack of Heat or Darkness from the lack of light.
This world isnt perfect in terms of what is best, but it is best in terms of nature, the existence of two polar opposites.

How can God allow places for there to be a lack of God? are you saying that God is unable to reach certain places? |
The fact that he is able to do it and not do it simutaneously in this realm gives him the right to hold such a title. (or maybe I misunderstood your post o.O?).

Huh? You said evil is the lack of God. Why does God allow there to be a lack of God?
