True, a person can absolve themselves of responsibility for their child by giving them up for adoption or paying child support. However, "God" can do neither of these things. Also, people are not all powerful and omnipotent. And if you want to argue that "God" is the equivalent of a deadbeat dad.... well, deadbeat dads are prosecuted and sent to jail for failing to live up to their responsibility.
How is god abandoning humanity any different from a parent leaving a baby at an orphanage? I haven't heard of anyone being prosecuted for that.
