Generally accepted=/= necessary to a definitionits generally accepted that this is one of his traits along with being omnipotent and omniscient
The point is that if we take God as an omnibenevolent and omnipotent entity, the argument is pointless. An omnibenevolent entity is by definition bounded by some external sense of morality, hence benevolent. However, omnipotence is by definition unbounded, therein there is a contradiction. "Benevolence" is far too subjective a term to be vital to a definition of God. After all, who decides what benevolence is?
