Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too." ... -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept "(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question" ... -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist

You are because you said it fallacy

You can not find the word benevolent used to describe God any where in the Bible. I'm not saying God was not benevolent, benevolence is a part of love. However God is not referred to as omnilove, why, because He says there are things He hates ie. sin. If God was omnibenevolent why do you limit Him to only two of what He is, could it be you have to take something away from Him to satisfy your disbelief. To me that's being dishonest. But just to satisfy you I pick A+B the scriptures point to it.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Other Christians read the bible and seem to interpret omnibenevolence just fine.

Our Lord Yahweh isn't omnipotent or omnipresent either, if you bothered to read the passages of scripture I quoted earlier. It's only in the NT that he gets to be omnipotent, and even these parts are more hyperbolic words of praise than descriptions of Yahweh's actions. Yahweh demonstrates his limitations in the OT. The only alternative is to think that Yahweh leveled up as a deity and achieved the "omnipotence" class ability upon reaching 20th level. Dumb ass phony Christian!

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Then you're no different than any other nonbeliever, you'll accept anything that supports your hate for Christianity, it doesn't matter to you where the truth is. When young earth Creationist don't agree with your science you insist they read about it and don't say you don't many web sites have been referred to for us to read.

You should read the Genesis account, God also named every star and only an omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent God could create an entire universe.

Lol, claiming that only an omnipotent and omniscient being can create a universe? There is no way to establish how much "power" is needed to do something absurd like creating a universe.
Also, why would a task ONLY be possible for an omnipotent being, rather than just a very powerful being? You're reaching past your ability to explain when you shout out idiotic claims like that. RE: The Problem of Imperfect Revelation: Your Thoughts?

Impressive but not omnipotent.
