I never said he was a genie, but when you are a child and you are taught that god is everywhere and that he loves you, then you start thinking it's a lie when he sees you getting beat with a belt every day for seven years and he does nothing to stop it.

He "protects" the majority who don't suffer from such abuses... pretty sweet deal.
