Basically I believe when someone follows this logic they just don't want to make humans accountable.
But if God is truly omnipotent and omniscient... able to stop such a thing from happening, him actively not doing so... is that not malevolent in itself?

Like, if you're standing on a river and watch someone drown 10 feet away from you. You go to prison because of the Samaritan Law. Same thing.
