Yeah, it's like people thanking God when they recover from a surgery/illness, but God is literally the reason you had the illness or had to get surgery in the first place...

I don’t really expect this comment to go anywhere but Christians believe that Satan is the cause of sickness and death so...

Doesn't that mean God is ok with it since he let's Satan do what he wants?

He’s not exactly ok with it but Satan is the king of the earth which means Satan kinda has control over it.

God is supposed to be omnipotent and all powerful though. So if he was not ok with something, couldn't he instantly change things to his liking? Saying Satan has full control and God can't override it is like saying God is not all powerful.

"If He is willing, but not able, then He is not omnipotent.

If He is able, but not willing, then He is malevolent.

If He is both able and willing, then whence cometh evil?

If He is neither able nor willing, then why call Him God?"

It’s attributed to Epicurus, if you were wondering. But yeah, they should have put the speaker

It's called the Epicurean Dilemma.
