If he let just one person ever starve, I'd think he was a prick. He created the whole "eat or you die" system in the first place. He didn't have to do it that way. And he can provide food for free. Create it by magic. The fact that he doesn't, and watches someone starve, makes it murder by neglect. He doesn't get a free pass because he's a god.
Unless he's not actually anything like as powerful as people suggest, and just pretended he created all this stuff and made the rules...
Additional: I presume God would be able to destroy himself if he so wished. If not, that's yet another way I'm more powerful than him. He can't lie, he can't do evil, he can't prove he exists, he can't forgive without pretending to sacrifice a part of himself, can't kill himself, can't stop rapes even when he's present...
If he can destroy himself, then I think it's perfectly reasonable to assume that he has done so. He would have had to wait however many billions of years for us to even turn up. That's got to grate, even for a god. Probably topped himself long ago. It would explain a lot.
