Sadly, the omnipotent God has only fuckwit humans to work with!
Sadly, the rate of change, of evolution, in society is not something which can be externally manipulated or imposed. One has only to look at the Arab spring to see that. Democracy, for example, cannot just be grafted onto people who are not ready for it. Look at Iraq! Or indeed Syria. Not for second to downplay how evil and despotic the old regimes were, they are far more dangerous places to be now!
Here's an interesting historical and sociopolitical question. If Jesus had met up with Caesar and convinced him to pass a law freeing all slaves, what would have happened in the Roman occupied world? How would the economies and infrastructure have faired?

Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken."
