God does intervene. Do I think He should? I think He should do whatever He thinks best.
Cheers :-)

Intervene, as in control mankinds actions and affairs? I don't agree with that. Or with predestination. I think we should be responsible for our own choices and actions, and for our world. If there was absolute divine intervention we would not be responsible for anything, we would be manipulated, we would not be ourselves.
If you mean divine intervention as a less absolutely controlling thing, this is what I think. God does intervene in some ways (eg. miracles, and cool people like Mother Teresa, and the Holy Spirit). Sometimes I would love God to intervene more and solve world poverty or something. But he's not doing that. I don't know why he doesn't intervene more - but he is God, he lives in a totally different realm from us and he is good - so I trust his decision - like with one of my favourite bible verses, "we live by faith, not by sight".
We need to reap the consequences of our actions. People either blame God for the bad stuff in the world, or blame themselves - often they blame God (well, its so much nicer to blame God!). But almost every bad thing in this world is caused by us (possibly excepting some diseases and natural disasters). When bad stuff happens to them people often say either "God can't exist", or else "God must exist!" - they choose different perspectives.
Some people have such awful things happen to them, even when they are good people. There is so much that seems grossly unfair about the world. I don't know why God lets that happen. But I have to hope - so I hope in and believe in the God of justice. I believe there will be justice one day and that things will be made right.

That's almost comical to think of an intervention and have a physical presence of God or Jesus sitting there with an all knowing look and a pat on the back saying( We just want whats best for you.)

This is silly! He has demonstrated his presence, power, effect ion, anger. Far too many things to rewrite here.
A serious look into anyones bible will show all of the above.
Revelation is symbolic, but gives a good idea of his intervention. It even says if he were NOT to do so, that there would be NO life saved.
Intervene? You betcha!

I agree with Chekeir, intervention should not be mis- construed though with interfering.

He does intervene when we ask Him, and what we ask is according to His holy will, and not selfish.

If He could, He would. Since He's completely imaginary, He can't.

If he could, he would. But there's no one there.

sometimes i wish he and religion would stay out of it, frankly. They tend to make it worse.
