Obviously I don't believe in God, but historically most Gods that have been believed in haven't been considered Omni-benevolent.

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.
