Living, Breathing Quotes
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
If I were not an atheist, I would believe in a God who would choose to save people on the basis of the
totality of their lives and not the pattern of their words. I think he would prefer an honest and righteous atheist
to a TV preacher whose every word is God, God, God, and whose every deed is foul, foul, foul. – Isaac
Asimov
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of
it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic,
homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic,
capriciously malevolent bully. – Richard Dawkins
