I prefer this quote because, IMHO, a god does not exist..

"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?"

-Epicurus

Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?

This part is quite scary when you think about it. If he did exist, and was able and willing to help, but he didn't consider anything the world was doing as even a blip on his radar, what horrors are yet to come?
