I know this is a circle-jerk meme, but I'mma pitch my two cents anyway.
If we are talking about the Abrahamic god... "he" is both good and evil. So no; to be omnipotent one must also be responsible for evil. Kinda duh.
I could go on, but that right there is pretty much all that needs to be said regarding that god in particular. Good and Evil are man-made concepts, and subjective as all hell.
If you're going off the old testament God is a jealous, vindictive asshole. New testament was a very successful attempt to white wash this with all that "love they neighbour" bullshit.
The Bible is wild.
That whole vibe is pretty much what created Christian gnosticism. The "creator God" or the idiot demiurge actually is the evil god from the old testament that trapped your soul in an evil reality. The good God and Jesus are here to help you transcend it.

For those elder scrolls players who wanted to know what Lorkhan was about: here he is.
Then isn't it wrong of the Abrahamic God to ask humans to do good if good is subjective anyway?
That's a fun question!
But there is that pesky "good" and "evil"! "wrong" and "right" are the same thing.
Isn't it evil of the Abrahamic God to ask humans to do good if good is subjective anyway? Well, yes xD
Good and Evil are man-made concepts, and subjective as all hell.
Gotta get all D&D True Neutral Druidic on this and recognize life as a cycle. The wolf eats the lamb, the lamb eats the grass, the grass eats the bodies of them both. What is good here? What is evil?
To eliminate "evil" one must do far worse things than murder. One must assert one's will over the very foundations of nature itself.
Like ripping fruit from a tree.
