Well, I think what Frodo meant was that not all Christians consider God to be omnibenevolent, most likely because there are people that haven't earned/don't deserve the unmitigated benevolence of God.
Then, what? Did those people who got crushed by a church (and were probably devout Christians) not earn enough karma points for a painless death?

Han Solo: Kid, I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other, and I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen *anything* to make me believe that there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything. 'Cause no mystical energy field controls *my* destiny. It's all a lot of simple tricks and nonsense.
