An omnipotent god needs, by definition, be equally able and likely to be exceedingly cruel as wellwilling.

How do you figure that?

As i said, by definition. If there is anything holding such a deity from doing one thing, or the other, it is unable to do all things, thus not omnipotent.

I think it would help if I knew what definition you were using, I'm not sure where the equally likely part comes from. I think there would be a distinction between an omnipotent being being able to do a thing and choosing to do a thing.
