I just stumbled across this discussion and found it very interesting. I am a Christian, and I would not say that God sits by doing nothing for the suffering of people all over the world, but rather we do. Maybe if we (by “we” I mean Christians and myself included and for that matter people who simply care for others) would care for people the way Jesus did maybe we would not see so many of these pictures. It would seem too many people are filled with indifference to the world around them. Maybe God is doing something to help those people, he is filling this world with logical and caring people who can give aid to those who are hurting, hungry, marginalized and oppressed. In first John Jesus says if you say you love God and see a brother or sister in need and do nothing to help them you cannot say you love God. I would say the problem lies not with God but rather his people.
