At which point you can point out to them that God can do WTF He wants
This is not an accurate representation of mainstream theology. Most theologists believe, for example, that it is impossible for God to do evil. See William Lane Craig’s commentary.
This is not an accurate representation of mainstream theology.
First you mean Christian theology, there are lot more theologies around.
Second, I don’t know what is “mainstream” theology—is it the official position of the Roman Catholic Church? Some common elements in Protestant theology? Does anyone care about Orthodox Christians?
Third, the question of limits on Judeo-Christian God is a very very old theological issue which has not been resolved to everyone’s satisfaction and no resolution is expected.
Fourth, William Lane Craig basically evades the problem by defining good as “what God is”. God can still do anything He wants and whatever He does automatically gets defined as “good”.
