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
This goes very well with the argument of "God has a plan for your life", then I guess not everyone's in god's plan, like all the women, children and men who have died in natural disasters. That was god's plan you could say so we're not overpopulated. If that's so, then why are you telling me that god has a plan for my life but not for theirs? Was the plan that they would be born, live for a couple years and then die without having accomplished even graduating from elementary school? What about the dreams and goals of these people? I'd be surprised if none of them had any goals or something to look forward to, like their kid's graduation date or their wedding. I guess god is partial when it comes to people then, because he allows some people to live over 100 years and some others' lives are cut short by god's malevolent plan. If this god exists of course, which you're arguing he/she/it does.
But god's ways are above ours and his (I thought god was genderless...?) understanding is greater than ours. If that's so, then how do you know about it? -Well I don't know of course!! If you don't know, who does? -God of course, if he knows and he doesn't want to share that vital information with us, how is he/she/it worthy of worship, singing, dancing or even mention? He/she/it's just an egotistical pompous narcisist that claims to know everything and who also is so selfish and cares so little for our lives that he/she/it is not willing to share such important, and most importantly vital information.
How do I know if it's god's plan that my children will be killed in a car accident? God knows if this is going to happen or not of course, but if that's the case, does he even car about how I will feel when I find out they were killed in a car accident and he didn't do anything to prevent it? And on top of that, denied me that important information to save my children's lives and on top of all that, he expects me to surrender on my knees, ask FORGIVENESS for my sins and worship that narcisist god??!! Are you serious??!!! Is that your sound argument of god's got a plan for me?
Look at all the evil that's happening in Mexico at the expense of the health and wellbeing of millions of american drug users and abusers, and god's just sitting on his cloud letting it all happen because "it's his divine plan". What's divine about that? What's so divine about the tsunamis, earthquakes, wars (caused by human greed no less) and the 30,000 people who will starve to death today? If god is able but not willing, he's malevolent you see?
That's herecy!! You say, you cannot question god's divine plans. You still haven't explained how that plan is divine? -It was written in the prophecy that because of man's (forget women and children who had little to no participation, without mentioning the millions of men who did not have anything to do with the rich's greed for money and power either) wicked ways god would destroy earth. Well, it was also written that Jesus would come back again to pick up his church; where is he? "Soon" You say, well, it's been over 2000 years, that doesn't sound like soon to me at all. Sounds more like he's not willing, thus making him a wicked evil god.
Smite me oh mighty smiter!!!! If I'm here next month, your god doesn't exist, because I challenged him to smite me and he didn't. If I do die a horrible death, you will say it was because I challenged god, but if I don't, your lips will be sealed and you won't even talk about it (I've been to Vino Nuevo, I've been to the sermons and only the stuff that happened the way the pastor wanted was mentioned, however, the prayers were aimed towards a lot of other stuff that was completely dismissed because it didn't happen and that wasn't mentioned, obviously!). And when I ask you, you will say, "god in his infinite mercy spared your life" and you will, as expected, fail to explain the reasons why, when I'm such a heretic and I questioned god's existence and not only that, I also challenged his genie powers!! And I'm still here, and I will probably survive to live 80 years or maybe more if I take care of myself.
Wake up and smell the roses, stop wasting time and effort on inexistent gods.
Thank you.
