I am not, nor have I ever claimed to be, omnipotent. Don't talk to me about going to other countries and doing my best to stop slavery, and rape, and all this stuff when your god is supposed to be omnipresent and omnipotent. Meaning he is literally watching these people suffer for things beyond their control, and doing nothing.
If you want to judge me for not donating to charities, or traveling the world, and all that stuff, that's fine. Maybe I'm not doing as much as I could. However, I did not supposedly create all those people. I do not demand that people worship me on pain of death or abandonment. Maybe I would be a better person if I gave some of my time and money to charities to help mitigate it little by little.
My point is this problem wouldn't exist if your god was real, and genuinely wanted it to stop. You're trying to paint me as a hypocrite. You think I'm less than your god, but I'm actually better by virtue that I can be proven to exist and don't kill or command the killing of people who put things in their lives before me. I don't feel the need to be the center of everyone's lives. That's how benevolent people think.
