The Tao of Steve

Dex: "Steve is the prototypical cool American male. Y'know, I'm talking about Steve McGarrett, alright? Steve Austin, Steve McQueen. Y'know, he's the guy on his horse, the guy alone.

The Riddle of Epicurus

If God is willing to prevent evil,
but is not able to

If He is neither able nor willing
Then why call Him God?
