In times of winter, when you hear of tragedy and death or in fact anytime when you switch the tv on and see something regarding death or injustice - you think 'why'?
“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 and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call call him God?”
I just love this point that Epicurus puts across, bearing in mind its not aimed at christianity, more gods in general but it still holds up really well and show's us how intelligent people were back then.
