1) OK so it isn't within my power to help everyone, agreed. Therefore, if someone sees God as having the "power" to help those in need and doesn't a lot of atheists call him Evil. The fact is he does help everyone, but you don't get something for nothing, and have to stand in line and accept the gift. To my knowledge I know of nowhere in the Bible or real life that shows God refusing to assist anyone who was truly accepting and needing.
2) yes it is a broad and accurate assertion. You said it yourself isn't directly caused by humankind. I can find no instance of famine or disease or other calamity that isn't directly/ indirectly relatable to Man's lack of understanding, control, manipulation, deciet or misaligned focus.
3) While your exageration is commendable I don't think you're going to be able to fund that statement with evidence that Yahweh is responsible for the majority of human suffering. Your tense is suggestive of modern human suffering. You might convince some Jews or funamentalist OT readers of that, but I take the Bible in it's entirety.
