You are saying that God got all this creation started down here in this world and then it was just 'hands off' - not interested. That indicates that you believe that man has free will and is determining how things in this world will go, because God could not care less. What kind of God do you think we have that would create such a wicked world then not care about the turmoil and suffering that is going on? He is very much a caring God! You disrespect our God over and over by your comments towards Him. To say He does not care what happens in this world, is like saying He does not love this world. He demonstrated His immense loving care (more than humans can even understand) for every person that will ever live in that He died for all of us.
Rom 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
All I can think is you have mistaken all this suffering and wickedness as not caring, but if you would read some of what in the BT site you would know that this is all temporary and actually serves a good purpose. All this is according to His plan, not just what is happening at random. He is totally in control, sovereign, nothing happens independent of Him.
Col 1:17 And He is before all things, and in Him all things consist.
Here is a short email that helps explain the purpose for things to be as they are at this time.
http://bible-truths.com/email11.htm -------------------------
God is SPIRIT. God is interested ONLY in spiritual things. All this physical creation is not something that God takes great pleasure in--it is but a means to an end. Well, what does He want then? He wants CHILDREN! SPIRITUAL Sons and Daughters in HIS VERY IMAGE!
But, how does He get them? Create them? Yes, CREATE them. But how does He create them. Instantly? No. To be in the IMAGE of God means that we will have the very same CHARACTER AND LOVE of God. Character and Love cannot be created instantly; it can only be developed over a period of time under severe pressure and duress. And so God creates severe pressure and duress, which produces GODLY CHARACTER. Imagine creating "patience," INSTANTLY? Why the very thought is self-contradicting. Patience by its very nature means that something must be WAITED FOR even though it is desired NOW.
God knows what He is doing. Now then, there is a second part to all this. We ourselves would never ever really appreciate the qualities of character, virtue, and love, that we will possess if we did not have to "sweat blood" to get them. There is no virtue that you can name that is not the result of overcoming some form of evil. And so this physical, human, temporal existence is as beneficial for US, and it is to GOD.

Psa 66:7 He rules by His power forever;
His eyes observe the nations;
Do not let the rebellious exalt themselves.Selah
When He said "all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing," that is in comparison to His greatest and glory and certainly did not mean they were nothing to Him.
To vote is to believe you have some control over what will happen - free will, and is also participating in worldly affairs. As believers we have to pick who we will serve.
James 4:4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
Mat 6:24 "No one can serve two masters; for either he will hate the one and love the other, or else he will be loyal to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon.
mercy, peace and love
