Selective perceptual bias would definitely negate an all knowing God. Also, I believe you have a bit of a false dichotomy there.

How so?

If god can put right for you the morning traffic, provide sunshine for your daughter's birthday party, and simply allow you to have a generally good day than he must be held responsible for all things. My argument is that if you take the time to thank him three times a day for your meals and every other mundane detail of your lives than clearly you believe he's absolutely everywhere on this planet at all times. There's no getting around it. If he answers (or is even listening to) the stupidest of prayers than he is at least responsible for all the horrible natural conditions that afflict mankind.

Now you're an honest guy tacky ... how is my dichotomy unfair? Tell the truth now. Does your god help you with the simple goings-on of your daily life? Did god provide you with that ham sandwich you ate at lunch time?

"God I know you're busy making sure Tacky gets a raise at his job, but me and my friends sure would like to eat."

Is your god sitting next to this child?
And if he is - why is he watching him
suffer and die in horrible misery
while he blesses satanists with hearty meals?

False dichotomy or honest evaluation of a bogus belief?
