Puritan Board Junior
"Premise 1: If God was an all-good being, he would desire the greatest amount of possible goodness and happiness to exist in the world.
Premise 2: If God desired the greatest amount of possible goodness and happiness to exist in the world, then the greatest amount of possible goodness and happiness would exist in the world (since he is all-powerful).
Premise 3: The greatest amount of possible goodness and happiness does not exist in the world.
Conclusion: God is not all-good (or maybe not all-powerful, either way, it would not be the Christian god)."
A little help with this?
