Have you went down any internet rabbit holes only to come out with a deep set existential crisis? If so, what are they?

    Tri-omni God problem. The God that we are told is worthy of worship is

    1. Omniscient, and
    2. Omnipresent, and
    3. Omni-benevolent.

    The presence of evil in the world demonstrates that no more than two out of those 3 can possibly be true at the same time. Thus if God does exist, he's not all that and a bag of gummy bears.

      The "solutions" to this are called theodicy and are definitely a fascinating rabbit hole. They're all unsatisfying, but philosophically interesting

      Omnipotent, not just omnipresent (which would be entailed by the combination of omnipotence and omniscience).

      Otherwise the problem has a very obvious and unsatisfactory solution (god has no power to make a difference).
