Epicurus riddle.

[tavarish]

Natural disasters are not evil in themselves.

They are if you believe an omnipotent being is in control of everything. Someone that kills one person is evil, evidenced by the Ten Commandments. An entity in control of a force that kills hundreds of thousands, by that same merit, is evil, if not exponentially so.

Death occurs due to our sin, it's a punishment because we all sin.

So babies do what exactly to warrant this death due to sin? Ones who die at birth or in the third trimester are guilty of what?

God has a hope that I will do the right thing, if you want to call that a plan.

So an omniscient being that KNOWS what you will do needs to hope for something? Hope stems from uncertainty. If you KNOW that something will happen, why hope for an outcome? If you know it and you are infallible (as is the nature of God), then nothing you (as a person) can do will change that.

God allows it to rain on the righteous and the unrighteous conversely he also allows the sun to shine on the righteous and unrighteous.

Basically saying this God lets evil happen. Which validates the initial premise. He is able, but not willing.
