What you think? [Spirituality & Religion]

"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

God is something of a riddle and a mystery to us if he even exists at all. He is supposed to remain that way. we as mortals are not designed to comprehend the complexity of he who is above and beyond all creation.

It seems like our life is a test, designed to reveal our integrity and character. In the end we will probably be held responsible for the choices we made and judged accordingly, which will determine what happens to our remaining consciousness.

God could merely be a referee with neutral alignment. His purpose right now is probably just to make sure the world keeps spinning and that everyone has hardships. Some more than others because life is designed to be unfair, its designed to push you to the breaking point. Cruel? yes but maybe necessary.

"Evil" and "good" seem to be a vague concepts that we as humans have created. Where as God may only see grey.
