I can see that you've given this a lot of thought, yet not quite enough.

It begs the question a bit to posit that God must behave according
to *your* expectations ("active interest in our affairs," thereby
implying a requirement to dabble).

And it's a sadly earthbound perspective that leads humans to the
arrogance of assigning "good" or "bad" to events that may be neither,
in the larger scheme of things.
