Omnipotence and the Existence of Evil

Only if you limited omnipotence or define beneficent in such a way that God could be willing to allow evil and suffering while at the same time being capable of removing them and still be considered beneficent. Which kinda defeats the point.------------------

I think we understand the meaning of the word differently.Dictionary.com defines it like this;1) Characterized by or performing acts of kindness or charity.
2) Producing benefit; beneficial.Given the definition above it is posible to be morally repulsive, but provided you occassionally perform a benificial act you would be considered beneficent. If this is how you were using the word then you are correct. It does however allow that God might not be worthy of worship. Which, if your goal is to convert people to the worship of this particular God, kinda defeats the purpose.

And until such time I see no reason to suppose the existance of a God.I have one question though, how long are you willing to wait before deciding that maybe the evidence you are expecting isn't coming?------------------
