god is not great

I would like to begin by saying that I do not think it is necessary for me to assume that god exists for the sake of this argument, although I said I would have no problem with it in the debate comments. Let it be known that from this moment on, I will be arguing against the idea of an all-loving, all-caring, and just deity. I need not assume that this being actually exists. It is the idea of him being "great" that I am arguing against. I assume that Con is familiar with the Fritzl case. For the people who are not, I will briefly explain it. Between the years 1984 and 2008, a woman named Elisabeth Fritzl was kept in a concealed basement dungeon by her father, Josef Fritzl, who would visit her most nights to rape and assault her. The constant abuse and rape led to the birth of seven children; four of whom joined their mother in captivity. And it was only by pure accident that Josef Fritzl was taken into custody for his atrocious crimes. Now, take a moment to think about how Elisabeth must have felt during her 24 years of confinement. Imagine how much she must have pleaded her father not to brutally rape her. Imagine how much she must have begged him. Imagine all of the prayers that she must have sent up to god, begging for his help, begging for his intervention, but never receiving an answer. And god supposedly watched and allowed this terrible sequence of events unfold. He watched Elisabeth get raped for 24 years and did absolutely nothing about it. So, either god could do nothing to help Elisabeth, or he just didn't care to. If he really couldn't do anything, then he would be impotent. If he really didn't care to do anything, he would be malevolent. Both of these attributes are contradictions to god's assumed greatness. Now, Con could argue that the reason god did not intervene to help Elisabeth (and every other girl/woman who has been or ever will be raped) is because of free will. He could argue that god never intervenes to stop any unfair or evil event because the tribulations make people stronger. These would be absurd arguments to make, of course. A lot of the evil that goes on in the world (including Elisabeth's 24 year confinement) is completely superfluous. And If it is true that god did not help Elisabeth because of free will, then this only means that god cared more about Josef Fritzl's freedom to rape and torture than the well-being of Elisabeth Fritzl. Divine intervention would have been the correct moral action to take on god's behalf, even if it would have affected the free will of Elisabeth and her father. Scenarios like this happen regularly. People are raped, tortured, and abused. Apparently, god does nothing to stop any of it because he doesn't want to affect anyone's free will. Yet, the free will argument doesn't work in every scenario. Innocent people die from natural disasters, thunderstorms, tornadoes, hurricanes, tsunamis, etc. all the time. These are wicked atrocities that only god can be responsible for; they have nothing to do with free will. So, regardless of whether or not free will is an actual issue when it comes to why god doesn't intervene to help people who suffer, the fact that he doesn't only shows that he isn't as loving and great as his believers make him out to be.
