Well the answer is simple. Assuming God exists, then he must not be one of the things you stated, and that would be b) Omnibenevolent,
Either that, or he chooses sees free will (yes I know your agrguement about free will not existing, so leave it out), as more important than elliminating evil.

Here's a question for you, as I believe you have children it should apply to you nicely.

If a good parent beleives:
1) they love their child
2) Love means ensuring no harm comes to their child
3) Harm can come from letting your child out of the house

Then why do you let your kids out of the house.
Must not be a good parent.

I can prove just about anything with flawed logic.

PS. you want to by my rock that keeps tigers away?

Good post...

LOL...I would think it hard not to assume a God, any God is not Omnibenevolent...
Benevolent = accommodating, advantageous, affable, affectionate, all-heart, altruistic, amiable, amicable, approachable, auspicious, beneficent, benign, benignant, big, big-hearted, bleeding heart, bounteous, bountiful, bright, broad-minded, caring, charitable, chivalrous, clement, compassionate, complaisant, comprehending, comradely, congenial, considerate, cordial, courteous, dexter, disinterested, do-good, easy, eleemosynary, encouraging, favorable, forgiving, fortunate, fraternal, friendly, gracious, generous, genial, gentle, good-humored, good, good-natured, greathearted, helpful, heroic, humane, humanitarian, indulgent, intimate, kind, kindly, kind-hearted, lavish, lenient, liberal, lofty, lucky, magnanimous, merciful, mild, neighborly, noble, obliging, openhanded, personal, philanthropic, pleasant, polite, princely, propitious, salutary, self-sacrificing, selfless, sociable, sympathetic, tender, tender-hearted, thoughtful, tolerant, understanding, unselfish, urbane, warm, warm-hearted, well-disposed

Hence, "benevolent" basically means "nice." Hence, "omnibenevolent" = "all nice."...taking it further...desirous of no evil.

As to the family question...I love my wife too and I let her out! Heck I love my pets and treat them the same. But that doesnt make me Omnibenevolent....yet.
Not sure where you want to take the point too...but im all ears and fingers!
