Theists, can you answer this riddle?, Epicurisosity! Options

[GreatWhiteWhale]

"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?"

I'd like to know your opinions on this "riddle" and see what you make of it, and please, no saying "God is something more" because that isn't actually an answer, that's just brushing it aside because you can't answer it
But then, if there is a god, and he could remove all evil, no one would be left on earth, but would you sit back and watch your son or daughter bleed to death? If life is so precious, why do so many go before there time, is a 10 year old girl being raped and burned alive in "gods plan?" and also, if there is a god, and a satan, why couldn't god just destroy him, he's supposedly omnipotent and all powerful, so why let this happen?

This above is of course just a 14 year old kids guess or something, so I can't really answer it, there isn't really an answer for it, but still I'd like to know your opinion on the "magical sky man who grants all your wishes", no offense of course.

and please, respect eachothers opinions, no LOL U GAY FOR BELIVIN IN GAHD

Heh, yep. That's why I put the etc.'s in there, cause it's been discussed in the God thread.

That is more or less the answer, though. Epicurus was the first one I learned of to ask this riddle (with slightly different words), and I believe Socrates also (with even more varied words).
