Why can’t God stop the gun violence that plagues us?
DEAR EDITOR:
The Sept. 2 editorial cartoon depicting a seemingly powerless Jesus on one knee mourning the gunfire carnage across our nation reminds me of the Epicurean paradox which is:
“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?”
