Anonymous: wtf, this is soo lame. god is able, not willing, but still benevolent. the flawed assumption employed in this "paradox" is that earthly pleasures are the ultimate good.

Anonymous: ^ What does "evil" has anything to do with "earthly pleasure"? Gosh, how were you able to function in this world when you have such poor reading and comprehension skills. Here's the simple version for your equally simple mind: If this god of yours is able to prevent evil but not willing then he cannot be benevolent.

Anonymous: Christian's logic goes like this: If you have a bucket of water (being able) and just stand there doing nothing (not willing) while someone else is on fire, then you are benevolent. Heck, the other guy won't enjoy those earthly pleasures much now with those 3rd degree burns. One more soul saved, yay!
BogFlogger: ^ Good observations. But God HAS created an obstacle "he" can't overcome, at least not through force or power. It's called "The Ego", and it has been a most excellent opponent in this game of God's.
