Sufficient number of Christians believe in omnibenevolence for that to become a characteristic of Christian god within traditional Christianity and this fact is reflected in Wikipedia. Exactly what percentages or numbers that would mean is not something I care about.
I saw no major revelation towards that in your post, still want more.
It will not make a difference - since you have blinded yourself to any knowledge.

I personally don't see where God does bad. God allows bad to happen in order to let good work.
and I would concur that God certainly doesn't reward evil, which is what some people would infer from the term omnibenevolence.
Shoot what down? The question here was whether god being omnibenevolent is a common belief held by Christians and according to the article, it is. I saw no statement to contrary.
What they infer from it or how they rationalize it is not something I'm bothered with.
