Interesting, can I ask what you expect from God in light of what you see and are making judgments about? What should He do?
Expectations are interesting. If we're talking about expectations any rational person might have with respect to a god as a moral actor, at least as much as any human should do in a given situation? If we don't expect gods to be moral actors, then I guess there are no shoulds for gods, just as there are no shoulds for a flesh eating virus.
In the latter case, the above is not so much a criticism of god, or a failed expectation - as it is a lament about how people, despite gods amorality or immorality, still sing it's praises as a morality maker.
