Quote:No, but how does a God atone?
Well, hypothetically (since we're talking fiction here) he could do so much more.
Cure cancer, or every other delibitating, life-threatening illness (or at least, since he's omniscient, give us a cure). Prevent people from dying from hurricanes and earthquakes (by warning them, if he doesn't feel like stopping earthquakes and hurricanes altogether). Even if he's not ominipotent or omniscient, he should have the power to cure the ill or see the future, otherwise he'd be a sad excuse for a god.
The fact that he doesn't bother to do even that means that his "atonement" is shallow and meaningless.
