You know, there's this thing I like to tell other devout Christians.
The history of humanity in the Bible isn't unlike how a human child is raised. Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden was infancy - the garden itself was the nursery.
When Adam and Eve got cast out, that was humanity going from a nursery into a bedroom.
The flood that Noah's Arc rode out was our baptism.
Sodom and Gomorrah was a good paddling we got for doing things we shouldn't be doing.
Big Brother Jesus eventually came along and made a deal with us: he'll take the heat from dad, but we gotta tell dad whenever we messed up.
And then ever since then, we've pretty much been left to our own devices.
We're supposed to be big boys and girls right now. Sure, talking to Dad is a great thing - we've all gotta keep up our relationship to him. But you can't expect him to solve all of your problems. We're supposed to be doing that ourselves now.
And you don't want him to come down here to fix this mess. Because if he has to, he ain't gonna be happy. And the first ones he'll come after are those who lead others astray in His name, and then those who persecute others in His name.
