This is the answer to Epericus (which by the way you mis quoted):
http://atheistforums.org/thread-11945.html
If you want to save yourself 22 pages of arguement then know I simply say that the epericuian Paradox was not orginally intended for the God of the bible. epericus was born and live 300 years before Christ let alone Christianity. As a Gentile He would have next to no understanding of the God of Abraham in his life time. Epericus was orginally taking about the greek gods. Then someone recently modified epericus' arguement (not paradox) to fit the description of an 'omni-Max- God. Which is a description the God of the bible does not claim for Himself. He calls Himself "I am," or the "Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end of all things." and as I said before this means God is whomever He wants to be.
So this arguement Fails in every possiable way, starting with Epericus' orginal intention for this supposed Paradox that was written to flush out the greek Gods. to it fail modern interpertation to dis proove an omni max God, God Himself does not identify with.

How so?
Sin is anything outside the expressed will of God.
that makes Evil a willful desire or act in malice to be outside of God's will.
How can God be evil if whatever He does, Is indeed within the confines of His will?

Indeed, I suppose that is why there is such a sting associeated with the admission of faith in the light of 'answered questions.' It's the irony of it all. Atheist generally preach that 'education' trumps religion, but when religion can factually answer education, then the 'educated' must default to a posision of 'faith' to maintain what they believe.
-or
the more popular route is to try and discredit the one shining the light on their faith.
