It's true that God can do things in ways that humans can't, but it would seem quite plausible that humans can do things in ways that God can't.

You changed that detail to "help other people". Helping other people and intervening are 2 completely different things.
You don't think helping other people is a form of intervening? Maybe you should elaborate more on what you think you're talking about.

I don't like were this is heading, you are trying to undermine my understanding by trying to put forth that God is greater and knows better. And that I can't understand what his understanding of good and evil is.
I'm asking you to look more closely at the assumptions and claims that you're making. If that leads to you discovering errors, then I guess you can say that I really am trying to undermine your understanding.

We can both agree that rape is wrong, are you saying that for God rape is different, he sees that differently?
Nope.

I always thought God was good.
God can do anything imaginable. No limits.
Obviously nothing bad.
Let's say that you've somehow concluded that I'm male, but it turns out that in reality I'm female. For an extended period of time, you would have had a false image of me in your head. It would be so false that if you had actually met me in person, you would not have actually realized it was me (because your expectation is one thing, but the reality is something else).
You might then go into a long investigation for some male that meets some description and has done certain things, and you would discover that this person does not exist.
But in no way would that imply that I actually did not exist. You just established the wrong parameters and so your search was unable to locate the thing you were searching for.
So maybe you don't think "God" (whatever it is in your head) exist. That just might mean you're looking for God with the wrong parameters.
