This Christians' rhetorical questions translate into those lame accusations we hear from fundamentalists... that anyone who doesn't believe in god (their god) is immoral or amoral, has no concept of love and is a nihilist. That everything apart from their pinched view of existence is random, pointless and without meaning.There is nothing more dismissive, arrogant and bigoted than this kind of world view. It is a form of philosophical bigotry that has no place in the field of thoughtful inquiry.

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?
