Isn't this the most logical and simplistic way to dismiss a fictitious superpower/hero? Or is there anymore way?

God development could have been stopped in the time of Epicurus if only all people had taken heed of him.

There's only one other option: "God" is the word we use as shorthand for: the explanation for everything that exists in the physical universe, and if anything exists which we can not yet detect, that too.
And that's as far as anyone can go.

At least the top 3 dogmatic religions (Xtian, Islam, Hindi) simply need to be declared a farce and without authority for societies. Until this is done logic to dismember them will not work, in my opinion. If women, particularly (because they are most likely to demand a spiritual support system) and people with alt lifestyles do not abandon this idea of god then it will continue to rule them. I can not feel sympathy for humans who do not break their own chains.

Epicurus wasn't just cooking with gas.

Get a better telephone. Or having tapped the photo put two digits on it, spread them to enlarge.

@Storm1752 Here you go.

"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

@FrayedBear Hey you're hilarious, jerk off.
