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

the traditional christian version of god doesn't make sense. that goes for ALL religions except one. All of the others believe in this omnipotent god, but they then can't explain evil. their god is a real SOB. and their reason for creation doesn't make sense either. The only version of god that makes sense is one that is not all powerful, did not create everything out of nothing, and does not have the power to force us to do anything or punish us. We are co eternal with god and have our own agency which means we are responsible for evil, not god. we determine our fate, not some preordained saved or not saved. God is a heavenly mother and father who simply want to help us be happy, not punish us for sinning or not being the right religion
