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

False Logic, as Oosure pointed out.

God is not the author of Evil, but of freedom, and evil comes from those making poor choices. Why does God allow it - because creation is meant to express all of his characteristics - to include Godly wrath and justice (cause that's a coming...), as well as Love and Mercy.
