A dictator can be wrong. A god cannot be. Try again.
If that is correct, then there is no god. Thanks.

Then a man said: Speak to us of Expectations.
He then said: If a man does not see or hear the waters of the Jordan,
then he should not taste the pomegranate or ply his wares in an open
market.
If a man would not labour in the salt and rock quarries then he should
not accept of the Earth that which he refuses to give of himself.
Such a man would expect a pear of a peach tree.
Such a man would expect a stone to lay an egg.
Such a man would expect Sears to assemble a lawnmower.

No dictator says that.

You thought the dictator was doing his best until you found out he has the resources to give
his countrymen the best of everything.
The dictator claims that he gave one of his countrymen a test, and because that one
person failed the test the dictator feels justified in letting everybody suffer.

That one person made a decision of desire to be as a dictator.
That doesn't excuse God from using his power for good.
The dictator claims that his countrymen all chose to suffer.
What would you say about such a dictator?
No dictator says that.
The Christian dictator God is alleged to have said that.
The dictator claims that he values free will so much that he will not interfere by helping
his people.
What would you say about such a dictator?
Your will be done.
Why?
