"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

I found that on an Atheist site once. To me, it means nothing. I don't have any religious beliefs. A god could be real, or it could be fake. This quote sums up what I feel: "When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That is my religion" - Abraham Lincoln. I guess I would be labeled Agnostic, but I don't really label myself.

I saw this on a video. I noticed in the comments section that all the Christians could answer with was
"But God doesn't HAVE to intervene, it's why he gave us free will. Simply because he doesn't isn't to say that he is malevolent or not omnipotent."

It's a good answer, don't get me wrong, but why did God intervene 2000 years ago by sending pretty much himself to Earth but now, he won't even nudge things along from above...?

Although I am more atheist I am very much an agnostic.
As Donnie once said, "I could spend my whole life weighing up the pro's and con's and still not get anywhere so I just don't debate it anymore. It's not worth it."
