I think this has a formal name, to which I do not know, so I will try my best to explain these statements which I argue to be a contradiction of God.
Define "God" as all powerful, all knowing, and all loving.
Premise: Their is pain and suffering in the world
1. If God is all knowing and all loving, He knows of the pains of the world and would want to stop them. Therefore He is not all powerfull.
2. If God is all powerful and all loving, He has the capability to stop pain and suffering. Therefore he is not all knowing.
3. If God is all powerful and all knowing, He knows of the pains of the world and can stop them. Therefore he is not all loving.
Sorry if this isn't formal enough. I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts on this. I want to see another side of thinking besides my own.
