Only a benevolent God would want to utterly annihilate your enemies, no?
But your enemies' little ole' children? Really?

So then, an all-powerful and all-knowing God could prevent cancer; there is cancer, so then, God doesn't care to cure cancer.
If I were to know how to cure cancer, but kept this knowledge to myself, that'd be immoral.
Likewise, an omniscient and omnipotent God who doesn't do anything to cure cancer is immoral.
Do people actually worship that sort of God?

And EVERYONE KNOWS IT DOES NOT WORK. Even the
omniscient know it.
What a stupid job, running every vibration of every atom.
The path of every electron around every atom.
So God is nature, and nature is God?
So God is nature, and nature is God? ...That's a differently defined God than the classic theistic God who is all-knowing, all-powerful, and purely Good. ...
Why? During both WWI and WWII both the allies and the axis took prisoners, which I find more benevolent than annihilating them---making each more benevolent than the god of Abraham.Only a benevolent God would want to utterly annihilate your enemies, no?

2. God is omnibenevolent.
3. God is omniscient.
4. God is omnipotent.
5. God is omnipresent.

And, do you honestly consider children and infants to be enemies?
This was only the God of Israel at the time. Other folks went about deciding it's supposed to be their God too.
What if we read the OT as just the God of Israel. The rest of humanity need to look to their own Gods for salvation. Or perhaps the rest are just NPCs in God's game for the chosen.
Why would God necessarily be any of these things? The bible shows God as being none of them.
Different God, sure, not the God of the Bible then, but a God based on personal idealism? Wishful thinking?
If you mean the Creator and Preserver God, It stays out of human interferences until called upon for help by a truth seeker practicing truth accommodation.
Well I don't think it works but not being God myself, I have to take your word for it.
I mean apparently a lot of folks believe it does else they'd change the laws right?
