This quote makes alot of sense to me,

“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?”

DEBATE!

im confused... but basically what i learned in morality is that there is a first cause which is "God" and there can only be one, it has to be infinite and it created us and gave us free will

I understand the quote. Whether I agree with the message it's trying to portray I'm not sure. Either way I'm not one to argue about religion and God/gods.
