why God is not present?
(God is present, but is not visible per se because of giving FULL power of free will, to strong people, who know no better than to exploit weaker life: case in point --> man made wars)
share serious and insightful, non judgemental ideas and perspectives on what must be going through God's mind, as God decides to just be an observer?

In philosophy this query is referred as "the problem of evil". The argument from moral evil presents that the existance of moral evil is inconsistance with the exiestance of omnipotent, omniscient and benevolent God. Usually this argument is counter through the "free will defense" that the moral evils are caused by the free choice which God gave to humans. The freewill argument however is criticized by questioning the responsibilty of God in the creation of these free humans while knowing the risks of moral evils, and therefore atleast partly to blame for their abuse of freedom.
And the debate goes on....
