The same old fr0d0 arguments. We've been here before, I think.
Omnibenevolence and omnipotence are 2 seperable qualities. Theres nothing to say that an omnipotent being would necessarily be good. Or that a purely good being would be omnipotent.
It follows from this that god's status as a 'positive being' has nothing to do with his being an 'all-powerful being'. The 2 statements refer to quite different properties.
If a being actually is omnipotent, then it can do anything that is logically possible for a being to do. This includes doing bad stuff.
However, your definition of god as a 'positive entity' precludes him from doing bad stuff.
Thus no 'positive entity' as you define it could possibly be omnipotent.
Your model of god is incoherent.
Clear?
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
