Watching overhead war footage, or seeing a war scene from the Omnipotent Third Person overhead, it proves; for me there is no god.

But, it also proves to me how everything in reality is relative to your point of view.

Imagine if you will a scene, not unlike some in this video, wherein we can see a soldier fighting from one trench to another. This soldier crests the ledge of the trench to run into another trench. But we can see from above that the trench is filled with what is this soldiers certain doom. Up to 20 enemies are in the trench waiting for him. But here is the terrible truth of the situation, the soldier has no clue what is waiting for him in that next trench.

How can a god simply allow this to happen? If god is omnipotent then he sees the ghastly things at all times, yet he does nothing. Some god.

This little rant was inspired by the soldier's reciting of the Lord's Prayer.

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 [341–270 B.C.]
