What exactly do you want the current God to do different, you should list your complaints so a real theologian can give you an answer.

Any god we create is likely to be just an idol, and such things can't do anything at all. Can a carved idol or an engraved idol get up and rescue you from trouble or protect you from danger...? No, of course not. People who encourage dependence on idols are either foolish or cruelly evil to lead others into that sort of dependence.
The only thing we can do is to look to a God we did not create, the One that was already there before anything else was. Nobody else is worth being called God, in the first place.
Nobody else has the power to make change happen where it needs to happen, in people's hearts and minds. And He has His own agenda, which does not include making us young, wealthy and of unlimited sexual potency.
If you don't care for this alternative, I am afraid you are going to have to take that up with the God Who is there. It might be a good idea to surrender to Him while that option remains open.
If you claim to have knowledge that there is no God Who was already there, you are claiming sufficient knowledge to make me wonder whether you are setting yourself up as a god, actually, as an idol, in which case the abovementioned conditions concerning those who make idols and lead others to believe in them apply.
The point I am trying to make is this: that all the gods that people dream up are idols, but there is One Who revealed Himself and proved Himself by returning from the dead under His own steam, without any prophet or angel helping. Jesus Christ is not an idol. He was already there, before anything else was. We must submit to His way of doing things, not expect Him to do things our way.

You can create any imaginary god you choose but since your very next breath depends upon the grace of God, you might want to rethink your question. You're not nearly as bright as you are dangerous to your well-being by rejecting the many blessings you receive every day from the God who created you, keeps you, and will judge you!

You say this because you have not opportunity to see a world that is not under control and mercy of God So you can not appriciate His Mercy, control, help, love I think we as human should be able to appriciate things without needing to see absence of them , Some Children get and get and get but still continue to conplain. Quran always says "do not you see?" "do not you consider?" If we have biases preventing us from seeing some things we can try to reach the correct knowledge If we search we find All the best : )

WE are not creators, only god is, so that would be impossible to do... as for His not doing anything... you would be surprised to know that He's doing more than you think RIGHT NOW. I can understand why you think He's not doing anything right now, because the world is in so much turmoil. I recommend that you try an indepth study of the Bible with Jehovah's Witnesses to find the answers to your questions.

What makes you think that God is doing nothing at all?
How unappreciative some people are of all the blessings and good things in their lives!

No we cant. God is playing a waiting game. If you dont like it why dont you pray and ask him to come back sooner?

Maybe it is your way of worship that is displeasing and it makes you feel as tho nothing is being done. Maybe it is a sign to change religions.
it is not for God to please us, it is for us to please God... that is where the rewards and blessings come from
