Ancient Wisdom

Some 2300++ years ago, Greek philosopher Epicurus questioned the capabilities and moral attributes of the gods of his day. His questions still ring true today, for any religion.

Has anyone, religious or otherwise, ever posted an answer... or a logical disagreement?

Quote:
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?

Well, I think the answer is "malevolent", because he is purported to be omnipotent, but so upset about this "original sin" thing that he allows people to wallow in evil.
