The impotence of the all powerful - Epicurus

This quote was added by cash_lord
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.
