I think you lack the knowledge, as we all lack what it would mean to do the right thing when you're all knowing, all good, and all powerful.. We are limited we see hitler we're like oh no bad... but God is all knowing, so he sees hitler every possible out come etc.. blah blah blah... So basically due to ignorance, adn other things, we cannot pass judgement on an all knowing being.

Furthermore I think you mistake God's purpose for us here on Earth. If God just killed everyone who was born evil, what then is the point of free will? If God is to say that he has given us choice, then he must allow us to choose against him. And to allow only good things to happen wouldnt' allow for that to be the case. For example if all you knew was good, then how can you say that you would choose God, God must offer us a choice, given us only one choice good, is no choice at all. He must allow evil to be known, understood, and choosable.

Furthermore God is not going to do a miracle every time somethign bad happens, he's not going to prove himself to the world just because some nut wants to go play dicatator. However, God will intervene for those who trust in him, and beleive in him so long as it doesn't contradict with his plans. Furthermore i think the best way to look at this is to use an analogy of Adam and Eve in the garden with the tree. If God didn't have that tree there then how can you say Adam and Eve were choosing God... They would have been only be choosing God, becuse they were only given that choice, thus God allowed for the tree to exist their.

Lastly a mistake you make about God letting people die, yes killing is wrong; however there is more to life than here on Earth. Though that is not justify murder, it's just looking at the bigger picture.

God makes it so that we'll believe in him by his Truth that he spoke not by the fact you're like look he stopped that flood let's worship him because now we know he exists, and we don't want to go to hell. What kind of followers is taht. Rather have follower who believe in him based on his word of truth, and recognize that as right.. this was if they can know and trust him without seeing, imagine when they are with him.
