It is clear theists and atheists can NEVER prove their positions so we can all safely live our lives without having to contently refer to either POV. Clearly this alleged god could care less about the death of people, not just a few dozen in a tornado, but 100 MILLION deaths by the hands of despots in ww2, not a peep out of this alleged god. This alleged go ...[text shortened]... l live or die by our own petards, not by the 'grace' of some deity.
Prove me wrong, theists.

you are correct. we are to blame for all the disasters in our day. it all began with the rebellion of Adam and Eve. they walked away from the peace and security our Creator Jehovah God provided for them.
Evenso God has shown loyal love for mankind. He gave His only son as a ransom price to buy us back from the sin and death that we have inherited.
He has allowed time for Satan and mankind to go their own way. This was to prove that we can't live successfully without His rightful rulership over us.
When the point has been proven beyond a shadow of a doubt, God will end this system and take over His rightful rulership of the Earth and those of mankind who want His rule.
The proof that God exists and that He cares is through Christ Jesus.
(Acts 4:12) Furthermore, there is no salvation in anyone else, for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must get saved.”
(John 14:9) Jesus said to him: “Even after I have been with you men for such a long time, Philip, have you not come to know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father also. How is it you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Jesus showed us what his Father Jehovah was like.
He showed us Jehovah cared also by his actions. i.e.
(Matthew 8:2, 3) And look! a leper came up and did obeisance to him, saying: “Lord, if you just want to, you can make me clean.” 3 So stretching out his hand, he touched him, saying: “I want to! Be made clean.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed away.
