Pray for the victims of the shipwreck?  To whom?  I must ask.  To the benign, almighty Christian god who foresaw all this yet let it happen anyway?  

“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 willing and able?  Then whence cometh evil? 
Is he neither able nor willing?  Then why call him God?"

                                                                                      -Epicurus

If we can imagine a better world, then surely god mustn't exist.  For such an awesome god would've created a world beyond our imaginations. 


*To the people who believe that this happened because god gave us free will:

Why do you associate free will with the ability to do evil?  Free will deals with decisions, not ability.  Human beings cannot fly on their own, but does this inability affect our free will?  Of course not.  Then why didn't god create us as creatures unable to commit evil?  After all, can god commit evil deeds?  If he can't, then does he have free will?  If he can but is unwilling, then why didn't he create us in his own image?
