Found this. Thought it would be good to discuss about it with reference to the Holy Bible especially, possible, impossible or inadvisable on the questions by Epicurus ?
Added [A], [B], [C] & [D] just for ease of reference.

OK , you being an agnostic, you are the perfect person to be asked this puzzle:
[A] “Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
[B] Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
[C] Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
[D] Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”
― Epicurus
Referring to above question, I can choose [C] because [A], [B] and [D] are obviously wrong. But then the question of whence cometh evil doesn't make sense at all if you don't believe in God. Who gives a person the authority to say his moral is better than the person he accused of committing the "evil deed". By the accused person perspective his "evil deed" is actually a "good deed" for him, or people that is on his side. Like in America the Left believe in Open Border, while the Right believe in Close Border. Which one is evil then? Or Hitler's deed which was beneficial for the german people, but not to the rest of the world. His deed was good from his perspective. Who can say he is evil when all he was doing was for the benefit of his people?
Fact is, if a person doesn't believe in God, then he should not believe there is any such thing as evil. For him nothing is evil.
