this is such a shitty new age video, and they meme the paradox which literally doesn't exist in Epicurus' writings. It is attributed to him, but given how much he praises religious belief in the works of his we do have, scholars have raised some very solid objections to the claim. you do know Epicurus insisted his followers not only believe in the Gods, but be pious to them, right?

even wikipedia has a more nuanced take of this than your shitty meme video. be honest, have you read any Epicurus, ever? or do you just like the aesthetic of much pleasure and muh no-afterlife?
>No extant writings of Epicurus contain this argument.[116] However, the vast majority of Epicurus's writings have been lost and it is possible that some form of this argument may have been found in his lost treatise On the Gods, which Diogenes Laërtius describes as one of his greatest works.[116] If Epicurus really did make some form of this argument, it would not have been an argument against the existence of deities, but rather an argument against divine providence.[116] Epicurus's extant writings demonstrate that he did believe in the existence of deities.[107] Furthermore, religion was such an integral part of daily life in Greece during the early Hellenistic Period that it is doubtful anyone during that period could have been an atheist in the modern sense of the word.[107] Instead, the Greek word ἄθεος (átheos), meaning "without a god", was used as a term of abuse, not as an attempt to describe a person's beliefs.
