Yeah what’s wrong with that though? A true god would have no desire to expose itself to humans at all and probably wouldn’t even interact with reality at discrete points in time.

Imagine if you decided to pay attention to a small area of your desk and you noticed colonies of differing bacteria. And then you noticed that one colony of bacteria was surrounding the other and exterminating them. Genociding them. Why would you care? You might argue that this god has evolved from us so it would care, but we also evolved from bacteria or at least something resembling it and we could not give less of a fuck

No no, what's wrong with that indeed-- I welcome the idea as much as any other

If it's truly that direct a parallel between us and the bacteria, part of why god (if you're saying it's a separate entity and not following OP's logic which would also mean we were somehow the bacteria too) wouldn't intervene/would look like they wouldn't care is because they couldn't communicate with us in a way we'd understand and any physical intervention could just wipe all of us out not just the aggressors
