If he is all loving and all powerful why doesn't he put an end to suffering - hunger, thirst, terrible illnesses? That he doesn't shows that if he does exist he is not all loving and all powerful. If he was he would end it - if I was all powerful I would, and I'm not all loving. If he is all loving he is therefore not all powerful.
Of course your argument will be 'we have free will, it is a test'. An all knowing God would know the outcome of any test so why would he make us go through suffering (obviously he isn't all loving).
These blatant arguments have been used many times before to argue the case that there is no God, and if there is he certainly isn't omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent. I don't expect this to sway the beliefs of any theists - you speak a different language.
