It is irresponsible to not bother trying to stop it, especially when God is supposed to be far more capable of intervening than a regular human parent. A responsible parent also informs their children ahead of time what is unacceptable and attempts to show the inherent harm of doing unacceptable things (such as playing with fire). A responsible parent doesn't set arbitrary rules. They also don't kill their children (or their children's friends/family/entire culture) for disobedience.
I don't get this very common Christian behavior, the attempt to gloss over the flaws of your god by comparing him to a flawed human. God is supposed to be better than that. I wonder why he never is.
