Epicurean paradox[edit]
The "Epicurean paradox" or "Riddle of Epicurus" is a version of the problem of evil. Lactantius attributes this trilemma to Epicurus in De Ira Dei:
God, he says, either wishes to take away evils, and is unable; or He is able, and is unwilling; or He is neither willing nor able, or He is both willing and able. If He is willing and is unable, He is feeble, which is not in accordance with the character of God; if He is able and unwilling, He is envious, which is equally at variance with God; if He is neither willing nor able, He is both envious and feeble, and therefore not God; if He is both willing and able, which alone is suitable to God, from what source then are evils? Or why does He not remove them?
Another basis for my belief is that I have never experienced anything that was pure evil or pure good. There is a ying and yang to everything

If a loving God sends people to hell forever for "sins" committed in a blip of time, I'm sorry, that is evil.

the only unforgivable sin is a sin which has not been atoned for by the death of Jesus; for the wages of sin is death... https://www.gotquestions.org/Romans-road-salvation.html. if people carry on as if The Lord Jesus is a "ghost" or "monster" those people have very little chance of being forgiven.
Even so, Come, Lord JesusI do not participate in delusion count me out
I've bee down this free will path with you morons countless times. It's nothing more than a copout for you idiots to explain your impotent god.
If you have your omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent god, he/she/it knows all that there has been or will be past, parent and future. Your free will goes right into the crapper if there exists that being that will knows what your future will be.
