Quote:If we have the understanding that unnecessary cruelties are indicative of evil, then God is evil.who here has the authority to deem an act or happenstance cruel? Truly without omnipotence, who can say the suffering of a potion of the population or even of an individual is not without Merritt or does not serve the greater good?

Isn't the opposite of that "capricious"?
No, there is no opposite of the bible not making a claim. It is just an observation.
Is the opposite of Omni benevolence capriciousness? Again no. The doctrine of Omni benevolence dictates God has the capacity and obligation to provide all the needs of his followers out of a sense of this all encompassing selfless love, and what is not stated in the doctrine but expected by believers and non believers as well is that we get to judge God performance via what has been provided.
The opposite of that is sovereign authority. (Being the alpha and omega) Meaning God get to decide what He will and will not do, based on the what He Himself has identified as His Character traits, and not what we have assigned him from what was left over from the worship of Greek gods.
