What happened to all of the epic grandeur?

Where was God on 12/26/2004? Or 1/12/2010? Or 3/11/2011?

In ancient history God was this:

In modern times God's been reduced to this:

Did God decide to become shy once technology could actually record events in real time?

This guy had it nailed hundreds of years before Jesus was even born.

“Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?”

Millions of families all over the planet were screwed over badly that day. Why?

There's only two possible answers.

a) There is no God

b) God doesn't give a **** about all of those innocent people that were killed that day. Either that or he's a pretty damn bad designer considering how unstable and messed up the planet he created is.

Or maybe he wants another do over cause he screwed it up a second time?

I had to look up 12/26/2004, because at first I didn't recognize what the date meant. Now I recall. I have a friend who does missionary work in India. He lives in India and visit here, from time to time. He told me stories what happened that day. It's truly a sad event.
