Epicurus was an idiot.
Each of these arguments fail in interesting ways.
Nobody ever said God was omnipotent, just that was the word they used to say: "This thing apparently has total control over reality". So his argument is a strawman.
Same for the other two. He doesn't want to believe that God exists. That's fine. But then where's his theory for reality? You probe him and it's like. duh, I haven't really thought about it, I don't have a coherent explanation at all.

Numbers 14:12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and disinherit them, and will make of thee a greater nation and mightier than they.
Deuteronomy 28:21 The LORD shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.
Parker Williams
>If he is able but not willing then he is malevolent
Nope. It has not occurred to Epicurus that he has no authority to determine what is evil. If God wills that man should suffer then man should suffer. If God wills to torture Epicurus for all eternity in the fire of imaginable suffering then such a thing is just.
Human morality is just based on subjective human emotions. God's morality is objective.

>god is not omnipotent?
The bible lists several things God can't do. People who interpret "omnipotent" as "can do anything are either evil or retarded.
God is more powerful than any other being. He cannot lie, however. He cannot do evil. He cannot break His promises.

There are two main kinds of evil. The first arises from the free will of men, such as murder. The second is called natural evil, and refers to evils such as natural disasters and disease. People have pondered about the problem of evil for millennia. There are several reasons, and you are welcome to research them, but I will give you one of them. Mankind told God to fuck off and chose to sin instead. God honored their request, and so we live in a fallen world. We look forward to the day when God will remove both kinds of evil that I first mentioned, at which time he will create a new earth populated only with those who chose our of their free will to follow him rather than live contrarily.
Christopher Cooper
While i'm not religious myself, would God not be so far beyond our comprehension of reality and morality, that we cannot possibly understand why he would do the things he does? A child getting a flu shot or something similar would not be able to understand why the doctor hurts it, as it cannot understand that it is for its own long-term good. Perhaps evil exists in the world because Earth by necessity cannot be good, for then it would be heaven, and cannot be bad, for then it would be hell. Perhaps human lives are tests to figure out where they belong after they die.
Colton Morris
I am agnostic and yet I understand that even if (a benevolent) God Existed Plagues can be purely an act of nature he instilled, thus he does not intervene for or against us...

Don't you understand that this human life is only temporary and much more awaits?
Besides, God gave us free will. If he stepped up for every pandemic and insta-cured everyone, you would lose that free will and have no choice but believe in him
With that being said though, God has helped me numerous times in dire moments and gave me several signs of his presence. If you have a good heart and good intentions, you should read the bible and pray/talk to him. He will listen

Now, the third point of light: The day is coming when suffering will cease and God will judge evil.
A lot of times you’ll hear people say: “If God has the power to eradicate evil and suffering, then why doesn’t He do it?” And the answer is that because He hasn’t done it yet doesn’t mean He won’t do it. You know, I wrote my first novel last year. What if someone read only half of it and then slammed it down and said, “Well, Lee did a terrible job with that book. There are too many loose ends with the plot. He didn’t resolve all the issues with the characters.” I’d say, “Hey – you only read half the book!”
And the Bible says that the story of this world isn’t over yet. It says the day will come when sickness and pain will be eradicated and people will be held accountable for the evil they’ve committed. Justice will be served in a perfect way. That day will come, but not yet.
So what’s holding God up? One answer is that some of you may be. He’s actually delaying the consummation of history in anticipation that some of you will still put your trust in Him and spend eternity in heaven. He’s delaying everything out of His love for you. SecondPeter 3:9 says: “The Lord is not slow in keeping His promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”To me, that’s evidence of a loving God, that He would care that much for you.
Jose Russell
This virus was man made, anything man made falls under free will of man. As in God gave us free will so whatever completely fucking retarded evil stuff we do and create falls on us to suffer the consequences.

Humans are God’s co-creators.
Evil (in another space and time/dimension) tried to “live” on human life wave through the consumption of human blood.
Evil humans with large egos (the only devil in your mind is your ego and is situated on this plane of existence), sacrificed innocence to gain material wealth and power.
Little did they know that once “they” were able to consume enough life force, they could break free into this dimension.
But, beings of light have come to your aid and assisted on the spiritual plane. All will come to light.
All hearts will be weighed.
The time for ascension is close at hand.
For those who knowingly walked towards evil and partook of its offerings will be sent into the void of nothingness for all eternity.
If you have some remaining light within yourself, and wish to ascend then you know your final option.
Good prevails
Light wins

Post 1/2:
God is what most people call "Universe" and It is in a constant state of change due to It's fractal nature and death-rebirth cycle forever, and the fact, that It always was and always will be (just in different states) is a proof in itself, that It is above and beyond all, because human logic dictates, that everything at least must have the beginning, so if something didn't "begin", yet it always was and is, then it has a quality of what people assume only God would have. God is the Universe itself and everything in it, that includes you too, the air we all breath in is also part of God, the soil on which we all walk is part of God too - put it all together, all that exists and you have the One, God - the source of everything. Universe/God/Nature - whatever you want to call it - it's one and the same thing. Everything is alive, everything is pure consciousness - physical "reality" is just our perception and consciousness is the most basic "building block" from which everything else is created. Creator and Creation is not separate and THE ULTIMATE POINT OF IT ALL is to gather all the pieces together and become One again. The Universe is like an egg. What physicists call the "Big Bang" is the shattering of an egg, so all the contents spill (death of the Universe). The expansion of the Universe is the process of spilling contents of the egg, then the Universe will begin to shrink back (kind of like a gestation process) to It's original form of One, where all the contents of the egg are inside it and the Universe is in one extremely small and extremely dense "point". When that happens, then due to It's extreme density, internal "pressure" will cause It to explode again and It's going to "die" again (Big Bang / shattering of an egg), rebirth again and die again and rebirth again and so on for infinity.
Jose Ross

Post 2/2:
God is neither good nor evil. God is perfectly balanced. God is the Universe itself and everything in It and Universe has duality nature, which after fusion of two extreme opposites creates the "Holy Trinity". The real, original and intended meaning of the Trinity is two extreme opposites and the fusion of them. Neither is better than the other one and each of them posses qualities that the other one doesn't and it is the fusion of both of them that gives us the best outcome. It is the balance between two extreme opposites that at the end of the day always wins. Neither right nor left is better than the other, neither obese nor anorectic is better than the other, neither hot nor cold is better than the other etc. Trinity is one of the the Universal Truths, that can be applied to absolutely everything and the ancient as well as modern intellectual elite has been encoding this fact for thousands of years in many things, especially buildings. It is the BALANCE between two extreme opposites that's the best. This is the Universal Truth and is the true, original and now occultistic meaning of the Trinity, now hidden behind the veil of allegories in order to ensure, that only select few can know and fully understand it, because not everybody deserves to posses that kind of knowledge due to a tremendous amount of power it can potentially give to a right person.
See for example Gothic cathedrals or the famous painting known as "The Last Supper" and you will see the hidden symbolism of the Trinity/Triptych encoding the knowledge about the nature of God/Universe.
Look at the background of The Last Supper:

Where he has always been, watching you and Epicurus make idiots out of yourselves.
You deny his existence, mock his followers, use his name as a swear word, break every one of his commandments with glee, and then have the temerity to ask why he isn't doing something to stop this.
Oh he's there, laughing at your well deserved misery and pain. Yes, he is allowing his worshipers to suffer with you, He knows it will make them stronger and further damn you.

Yas Forums is a Christian board
This board realized long ago that the cohesion of religion and state is key to the sustainability of decency and morality in our society.
That is WHY we have these threads almost daily. They believe they can manipulate us into thinking being Christian is anti-white when it was Christianity what made possible for us to have nation states in the first place.
Do not be deceived by these useful idiots, Yas Forums
Believe in the Lord and praise his name.

Is the personification of the natural world. He is watching. Rules were broken. Rules set for your own protection.
