Diogenes
In winter Diogenes walked barefoot in the snow. In summer he rolled in the hot sand. He did this to harden himself against discomfort.
“But aren’t you overdoing it a little?” a disciple asked.
“Of course,” replied Diogenes, “I am like a teacher of choruses who has to sing louder than the rest in order they may get the right note.”
The riddle of Epicurus
If God is willing to prevent evil, but is not able to Then He is not omnipotent.
If He is able, but not willing Then He is malevolent.
If He is both able and willing Then whence cometh evil?
If He is neither able nor willing Then why call Him God?
Weird urge.
To get the board out of my trunk and go skateboarding at the park right now.
