The Free Will Defense - Isn't it Unusable?

[CapnAwesome]

I think the problem with this argument is really trying to justify an omnipotent, omnibenevolent God. Most cultures have not believed in an omnipotent, omnibenevolent god. I don't think there is a proper reading of the old testament that says the ancient Jews believed in an omnibenevolent God either. The ancient Greeks never had to deal with the problem of evil because they believed the Gods to be bastards. I often wonder why modern Theists feel the necessity to cling to descriptions for their God that are so difficult to defend.
