Not just omnibenevolent, but omnipotent, omniscient, and omnipresent, plus the flawlessness of perfection to boot. With ultimate perfection and greatness come the ultimate responsibility, and ultimately one cannot possibly be all of the above and allow anything evil to happen. A god which lives up to the above claims would not allow bad things to happen anywhere that it has influence because it simply cannot. It does allow evil, therefore the Xtian god is not what is claimed of it.
I agree
