Good point..... However....
What would happen to a parent who refused to get medical treatment for their sick child and the child died? The parent would be criminally prosecuted. Now, according to the believers, we are all "God's children". In this context, doesn't "God" then have a responsibility to care for his children? By doing nothing and allowing a child to suffer a horrible death, is this deity not negligent in his duties? In fact, I would argue that he is responsible for every death due to starvation. A parent is most certainly required to provide food for their children (at least to the best of their ability). This deity could easily provide food to all the starving children in the world, but he chooses not to do so. This is criminal negligence.

Of course not. There are other doctors you can go to. But if there is only one god, and he refuses to cure your terminally ill child, where else can you go? Also, unless you are his patient, a doctor is not responsible for you. He has no obligation to take care of you. But according to people like you, "God" created us. As our creator he is then responsible for our well being. Just as I would be responsible for the well being of a child I fathered. But your deity shirks this responsibility. This makes him either an incredibly callous prick or a figment of your imagination.
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
