What are your thoughts on this topic?
If God is not omnipotent, then there is an open question as to whether a more powerful being than God exists. This seems to contradict a typical definition of God as a being of which there can be nothing greater.
If God is not omnibenevolent, then there is a similar open question as to whether there exists a more morally good being than God. And if we think being morally good is an attribute of excellence or perfection or greatness, then we get the same contradiction of the possibility of a more excellent or more perfect or greater being than God existing.
The replies to this thread seem to be defining God as omnibenevolent but beyond human knowledge, which is not strictly denying God is perfectly good. But I think this creates a different problem of radically destabilising human relationship to God. If we don't know whether lying is evil or good according to God, we don't know if God is lying to us through his revelation and could pull Uno reverse on divine promises and reward the wicked and faithless and damn faithful people to eternal torture for no reason. There would be no surety that any human action has any relation to any part of God's will or judgement at all, therefore no certain reason for doing anything in relation to God.
I think many people are attracted to theism because God provides some explanation or order to the universe and their own lives. God being beyond our moral understanding opens the door to a radically arbitrary universe where nothing happens for any reason at all.
