Go ask that to a starving person and see how they look at you.

Isn't a god defined as immortal? Let him "die" and come back for himself.
People who sacrifice themselves for an entity which only manifests itself in people's minds... are probably not required on this Earth
Because God does not remove all the sin from the world until God comes back in the next age, meaning the evil in the world has a political manifestation and that is threatening to Christians.
Do you realize that if God dealt with all the evil in the world, necessarily the age would cease to be? Why are you so presumptuous to think that you can tell God when God should end the world.
Why are people always presuming to talk for this ultimate being?
Why do you claim to know what it thinks?
Why do you claim to know what would happen if it did show itself?
If it has never showed itself, how would you know about it?
