well theodicy wouldn't be my problem persay. if god didn't interfere with human affairs. if he existed and simply allowed shit to happen... i wouldn't be a christian persay... but i would probably believe and maybe even like god.
You're describing Deism. You've probably been taught that our founding fathers were Deists. Here's how simple it is to know that they were NOT: Deists of their day believed as you say, that God does not interfere in the affairs of men. That's all we know about it.
All our founding fathers prayed for God to give them victory in the Revolutionary War, and credited Him with it.
You probably want God to leave you alone so you can enjoy your sin? This is a pretty common notion, that God is this grumpy old dude that just wants to make sure we never have any fun.
this went nowhere. first and last off. if god can move mountains, why not save a great deal of lives? hell! he doesn't even have to interfere all the time. but clearly if a great deal many of lives are gonna be lost. or their is unneeded suffering, he should minimize it every now and again. instead he does... trivial things. that rarely if ever help anyone. that's my problem that you over looked, and now your using the same tired troop. you believers do and claim all we wanna do is sin. when i didn't even bring up sin. so thanks for moving the goal post. you idiot.

None of this is remotely near reality.
