You think that a good god would be one that solves all of humanity’s problems for them?

No.

It’s not.

A god like that will create a civilization that is entirely dependent on them, and would be utterly incapable standing on their own. You realize what that means, right? It would mean that the gods would be constantly pestered by humans asking them for favors, or being constantly offered sacrifices, or maybe the humans would even fight each other over the gods. Those are just off the top of my head.

Letting the humans solve all their problems by themselves is, in my opinion, what a real deity should do.
