If by "our law", Someone who knows and stands by watching of a crime is complicite to the crime, then wouldn't God be a criminal? ( since god is all knowing and has the power & ability to control/intervene )
And, If thats the case why would people look up to him and worship someone like that?

God gave people free will for some purpose unknown and unknowable to us. For the deity to interfere in the actions of individuals because society judges them as wrong would abrogate that free will...and I don't think God does that very often.
We are not qualified to judge the actions of God, because his (or her) motivations and acts are imperfectly transmitted to us, and are in many ways incomprehensible to us. As Paul says, here on earth we "see through a glass darkly; then

A long time back, many years ago, I nelt to except Christ. Blind faith, was the way I used to beleive. Now, My faith is questionable. I have seen to many questions here, that cause one to re think some things. There is much, that does seem to contradict. I guess, if your out for blood as so to speak, take it up with the one that created you.

That's Heaven. Perhaps one thing we are here to learn in this life is what things are like when God doesn't enforce good behavior. And I think we have some pretty good examples.
