Epicurus

said:


“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?”


That sums up how I feel about "God".

Epicurus is one of my favourite philosophors. A key figure in the development of the scientific method, and featured in the excellent QI Book of the Dead. Well worth a read.

If you've actually read your bible, then you'll understand that God is both good & evil.

that depends which god you mean.

Are you thinking of a Hebrew god found in the Old Testament?
