It would be nice if the Creator stepped in to do something about it.

Reminds me of passerbys who ignore someone being gangraped.

The Creator gave us dominion over the earth.

He gave us His Son Who won the victory through His death and resurrection.

He told us to be salt and light to the world.

He's waiting for us to do something about it.

God does not intervene because He gave us the gift of "free will". It's just that simple. Were He to intervene each time an evil act is committed, then there would be no need for paradise. It would be here.

Depends on the sin. Child sacrifice is an abomination.

2 Kings 24:3 & 4
Surely at the command of the LORD it came upon Judah, to remove them from His sight because of the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he had done, and also for the innocent blood which he shed, for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the LORD would not forgive.
