I mean, ultimately it's just a matter of definition. Most people in the Abrahamic tradition tend to want to hold to all three of the "omni-"s, but I don't think there's anything Incorrect with abandoning or relaxing some of them as such. I have to say though that the people who'd much sooner give up on God's benevolence (or define it in such a way as to make the concept meaningless, like Pit did here) really disturb me. Why in the world would I want to love and worship God if I am not certain that He is good, truly good in the only sense of the word that is intelligible to a human being (ie as desiring the happiness of all beings)? Maybe out of fear, but if so God would hardly be different from any petty tyrant. I'd much rather qualify divine omnipotence more carefully, and indeed I think it's the simplest way to preserve the core of Abrahamic morality.
