I cannot claim to know the situation in your world. But if your God and mine are similar, I can tell you this.

Gods survive only by belief. Even if killed, a God will return as long as even one person holds faith in them. Their power, too, is fueled by it. This is why the Great Will seeks belief above all else.

But...

...at its core, therein lies a problem.

How can one believe in a God that will hold back from His people? Mankind is now billions strong. No matter what calamities occur, no one can claim to be "saved" by God. No one can claim to be punished by God.

But despite that, every time those calamities pass by, there are many who breath a sigh of relief. "Thank god!" they exclaim.

The truth is, that mankind was never intended to have its hands held. To be guided through life.

Mankind grows through struggle. It learns, it breathes, and it becomes more beautiful the more it has to fight for its existence. Those who have not forgotten understand.

In the past, God tested those children with struggles of all kinds. When they survived, that was their pride. That was their own glory.

Now...

...He has changed. In your world, perhaps He is the same. In mine... everything is out of balance. Including Him.
