Though the trend in this thread seems to be towards ignoring that which doesn't fit into preconceived notions, I will submit the following anyway.

This is a famous riddle from a greek philosopher:

"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


Comments? I would really be interested in seeing any logical fallacies in the above quote.
