    If He is able, but not willing
    Then He is malevolent.

    If He is both able and willing
    Then whence cometh evil?

    If He is neither able nor willing
    Then why call Him God?


    I just love it, our ancestors were pretty smart.
    yes they were. the ancient greek philosophers, mathematicians and political leaders and warriors were amazing.

    however epicurus was active during the pagan years of greek mythology so is this god stuff an anachronism? they beleived in gods.

    but ive seen this argument before ... the ole if god is omnipotent can he make a rock big enough he cant lift lol.

    ive heard a beautiful quote against your saying . i forgot who said it.

    " The greatest gift god gave his creation was free will."

    People who bring young children to demonstrations. I don't care how passionately you feel about abortion, gun control, climate change etc. or what your position is, young children should not be out there waving signs when they have no clue as to the actual issue.

    Ministers who don't know jack **** about science explaining why scientists are completely wrong about Abiogenesis, Evolution and the Big Bang. Then to add to their stupidity they explain it is because scientists want to lead people away from God.

    He was very good. They did him dirty in the new series, it was an insult.

    I like to hit back with - if God is all powerful can he create a stone that’s so heavy even he can’t pick it up.

    Hi Tani - I'm probably biased as I grew up watching the early Doctor Who episodes but I do agree with you.

    Second Doctor Patrick Troughton was a fine actor and rarely gets the credit he deserves for making a success of the reincarnation which is now such a regular feature but had never been anticipated when the series was first written and produced. Had he flopped, that would have been it.

    Kind regards,

    One of the best imo. I've watched as many of his episodes as I can get my hands on for free.
