In fairness, a god may be doing everything it can, and we just don't notice. This isn't a problem for the majority of gods that man has ever invented - the river goddess doesn't catch the charge for earthquakes, out of her aoe. With respect to the dominant monotheism of today, though - if this is what it looked like when god was doing it's level best to help....then people obviously have some malformed ideas about the extent of a gods abilities.
If there were a god of fish, or a god of small fruits - that would be of immense interest to producers. If a god could be enjoined to increase your harvest - that would be an ability that every producer would seek out. Among faithful producers, there is very often just such a belief, in greater or lesser forms. Asserted or merely hoped for. Transactional gods with eternally set pricing structures. Tell us about the god of fish, where can I find the god of small fruit? I have no use for a dead culture's wargod.
