  1. Just connect them all together.

    Like, talk about the three qualities in the Inconsistent Triad, then sum it all up by saying something like:

    If God is not omnipotent, omniscient or omnibenevolent, that doesn't make Him God. People tend to think of a perfect God who is flawless - but if He lacks either one of the qualities of omnipotence, omniscience or omnibenevolence, then this leads people to the idea that "God" cannot possibly exist.

    We did this during one of the revision sessions ... do you want the sheet we got?

  2. For an extra point, you can say that in the midst of evil and suffering people pray to God. But a majority of the time these prayers are not answered. As a result people may come to stop believing in God.
