If the creator of the world entire / they call God, of every being be the Lord / Why does he order such misfortune / And not create happiness but only discord?
If the creator of the world entire / They call God, of every being be the Lord / Why prevail deceit, lies and ignorance / And he such inequity and injustice create?
If the creator of the world entire / they call God, of every being be the Lord / Then an evilmaster is he, (O Aritta) / Knowing what's right did let wrong prevail!
And hence the Buddha demonstrates that the three most common attributes of God; omnipotence, omniscience and benevolence are obviously incompatible with the existential fact of dukkha (dissatisfaction and suffering.)
--Buddha Shakyamuni, from: The Bhuridatta Jataka
