In the case of the little girl who didnt receive help, the parents should have known better.
If they do the first they aren't atheists. If they do the second they are absolutely right, where the **** is your God when shit happens? Why is he only around in your minds when good stuff happens?
God is only gonna do so much, the rest is up to us. He is not some babysitter, and he is not some giant in a robe with a magnifying glass toying with us as a child might do with a colony of ants.
