The overwhelming majority of these criticisms are directed towards monotheistic, Abrahamic religions.
1. all-powerful (omnipotent)
2. all-knowing (omniscient)
3. all-loving (omnibenevolent)
Is there any major sect of Christianity/Judaism/Islam that claims God is
not all three of these things?
The arguments are fairly straight-forward:
Is God aware of the suffering in the world?If he is not aware, then he is not all-knowing.
If God is aware of the suffering in the world, is he capable of ending it?If he is not capable, then he is not all-powerful.
If God is aware of the suffering in the world and capable of ending it, is he willing to do so?If he is not willing, then he is not all-loving.
Because there is suffering in the world, all three of these cannot be true.
If God is all-knowing and all-loving, but not all-powerful, then how can he be called a God? He supposedly created the universe from nothing, but he can't give the Earth more resources.
If God is all-knowing and all-powerful, but not all-loving, then why is he worthy of our worship? And if you're going to argue that his conceptions of morality are beyond our understanding, why would he create us to be incapable of understand the moral truths of the universe? What would be the benefit of that?
If God is all-loving and all-powerful, but not all-knowing, why does he not give himself the ability to be all-knowing? (And if he is not capable of doing
this, then he is certainly not all-powerful.)
