Obviously I don't believe in God, but historically most Gods that have been believed in haven't been considered Omni-benevolent. Since this argument only attacks the concept of an all good god, it's weak.

Actually his argument is stronger than you think. If they relinquish 'all good', then opposition is not just right, but is a necessity. Your stance works when there are many gods because they can oppose each other, but a single god without opposition if it is not 'all good' is a tyrant.
