"He does allow all those things to occur without stepping in to help. Prayers go unanswered all the time. That, in my book, makes him as evil as evil can be."
According to the story (which I think is mythological), he did for Adam and Eve. They would have been protected from all harm had they been in danger. Even more so, God walked in that garden too. He wouldn't want it trashed up by some hurricane. After sin, the protection he offered he retracted. He would come step in and help if we weren't such buttholes to him. He's done a little bit, which isn't a remedy that will see immediate work, but will end up resurrecting us later. All of us. Even those that don't believe. Those that believe receive the blessing of their belief: purification and eternal Life. Those that don't believe don't receive the extras. The two groups are then separated. End of story.

The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; the Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace.
