If he has the power to stop such things, without risk to himself, and chooses not to do so, he is responsible for it. (Not to mention the fact that if he created the world in the first place, he is totally responsible for everything that naturally occurs as a result of his creation.) You worship a cruel, heartless bastard.
You must certainly understand the Christian belief that we live in a fallen world as a direct result of the original sin.
What's more important to point out is that you call God evil. On what basis? Your own? You cannot call anything evil without invoking a personal moral authority of which you say does not exist.
We call things evil because of our evolutionary instincts, not anything else. "God", in this case, while still being nothing more but the most unfortunate fictional character in the history of literature, is evil because he's supposed to be omnipotent yet people die and life isn't perfect. It's that easy.
