It cannot be demonstrated that He doesn't care about evil,
But if he cares, why doesn't he simply eliminate it? Or see that it strikes only the non-pious? Surely he has the power. Yes?

Since religious people assume that God will heed their prayer
"it strikes both the just and the unjust"
Heed?

I did not say that God smote the good for doing no evil.
Not directly, true. However, it would appear he could easily do something about it and yet did nothing.
It is as though you had the power to easily stop the WTC disaster and did nothing.
