you really messed this up, that paradox is like this.

according to many people's beliefs, god is all knowing all powerful and all good.

god is either not all good, not all knowing, or not all powerful.

because bad things happen. if he were all knowing he would be aware of all the bad things in the world, if he were all good he would fix all the bad things he saw, if he were all powerful hed have the ability.

so, since bad things happen, he either isnt aware of all of them(not all knowing), is aware of them and chooses to ignore some(well lets be honest most) of them (not all good), or he is aware of all of it, wants to do something about it, but cant (not all powerful). there for he is either not one of the three or doesnt exist.

i do not believe in this one way or the other, i dont really think the existence of god and religion is something you can really be sure of one way or the other. sure you c an say you are, but how can you be certain of something you have no proof for. but then how else did the universe get here, im familiar with the big bang theory, but what caused that? so i believe in some higher power, but i think the rest of organized religion is bullshit. my point is i dont see how we can have devout atheists or devout christians.

now that said, i hope none of the people posting here are the same people that when defending weed say god put it here for a reason so it must be good. based on what ive read ill assume they are not those types. well bringing religion, something that cannot be proven, into any serious argument is a bad point either way
yes it is called the problem of evil I put a link to it above
