It's a projection of our own desires onto this Being, which is the same mistake we constantly point out to the theists, when they do it in the other direction.
Even if we could say that the only way this Being could be Good/Omniscient/Omnipotent at the same time, I don't see how it follows that He must intevene in this world on that level. I'm sorry, I just don't.
I would project any desires on a "Supreme (and All-Powerful) Being" which human society would not project on me in the event that I happened to be standing in that alley when the rape took place. Not even reporting the crime is simply not ok - if I should do it, then so the fuck should any god which people believe in!
Especially if he is supposed to be the source of morality.
