An Epicurean Argument Against Hell

November 11, 2010 By 1 Comment

I thought this reworking by Randy Olds of a famous Epicurean argument deserved to be shared:

Is God willing to put an end to the torments of Hell, 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 how can Hell possibly last for all eternity?

    As in the case of Epicur's problem of evil, the trouble lies with God's sentient creatures, and not with their Creator.
