Behold: They've finally solved the Epicurian Paradox... poorly. And in the debatebroiest way possible.
Christians HATE this chart! It lays bare the idea that the universe we observe does not have a good god in it. So they went and did... this. Some 2300 years later. Surely we have advanced past our previous state.
You can tell they're not owned by the fact they pasted over the "BCE" with "BC". And that this imaginary strawman baby they are gleefully beating the shit out of was somehow born on a later date than when they died, presumably of said beating.
Christians love love loooooooooove throwing out accusations of immaturity when people point out problems with their religion, specifically "spiritual maturity", which is just "Don't expect the god that we told you could do stuff to do anything because he really can't". If they really wanted to solve this issue, they'd quit saying that faith could move mountains or their god will give you want you ask for or even what you need, but that doesn't put butts in pews and dollars in collection plates, so they continue lying.
This chart does obliquely go for the easy answer that I hear Christians say all the time, which is that their god is doing all this evil stuff "for our own good", but it calls this "discipline" and my body dumps all the cortisol I got in my blood when I hear a Christian say "discipline" because I know something bad's about to happen. I'm pretty sure Epicurus would just say to that "Yeah, but couldn't he have made us more good or disciplined without all this cancer and war and starving to death shit?" and the Christians would say that no, they need those women they're murdering of sepsis in their hospitals to teach women a lesson that they are nothing but birthing pods and also to record them and sell them on the deep web.
This lead to the real issue: Christianity needs suffering to function, even if it doesn't make sense. If there's no bad things happening for no reason, no one will look twice at their spiritual snake oil. This is why they're always pushing for Ten Commandment posters in schools instead of making the schools better schools. This is why they're suggesting everyone snort anti-parasitic horse paste instead of getting vaccines. This why they love no-limits completely amoral capitalism. This is why they start wars all the time for seemingly no reason other than to increase prices. This is why they make it more expensive and more dangerous to have children. They need things to be shit so that their nothing looks like a panacea. They want you so hopeless that you're willing to bet on actual nothing. I shouldn't have to tell you that bet won't pay out.
The real Problem is Evil is not any internal inconsistency in Christianity. It's that Christianity purposeful creates evil for its own gain, then says evil is created by someone eating a fruit or some other completely unbelievable thing.
