The trilemma is:
In most Christian religions, "God" is portrayed as omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent. HOWEVER,
1) If "God" is willing but not able to prevent evil, he/she/it is not omnipotent.
2) If "God" is able but not willing to prevent evil, he/she/it is not good.
3) If "God" is able and willing to prevent evil, then why is there evil?
I saw it somewhere, but I don't understand what it means.
