The standard response I usually receive is that God isn't responsible for any of the evil experienced on Earth, it's nothing to do with hm, so he doesn't intervene. Really? He is happy to just sit there and allow evil deeds to be carried out without any sense of duty to intervene?

I am an atheist, yet I have nothing against religion, I just choose not to be part of it.

What's the point in believing in him if he has abandoned humans? What is the point in praying to him and asking him for help if he simply chose to walk away at the request of his little experiment?

Theology is all about debating the whys and the wherefores though isn't it?

I'm not really complaining, what I am suggesting is that by allowing such evil things in the World, if he exists, he is not a loving God.
I cannot accept that he created Earth only to allow such suffering, particularly in children.

He intervened all the time for the Israelites, he intervened when he sent Jesus as a sacrifice. Why the silence now? Even the Israelites turned away from him time after time, yet he kept intervening on their behalf, but that was in a time where barbarous acts could be attributed to God, these days not so much. Maybe that's why he doesn't intervene anymore? Because people will wise up to the fact it isn't God at all but man attributing their actions to God.
