Remember "Kitty" Genovese a New York City woman who was stabbed to death near her home? At the time her neighbors were criticised for failing to respond to her aid. People who believe God answers prayers put God on the list of those being unresponsive though he had the ability to help he chose to not intervene. Belief that God answers prayers makes God responsible for willingly permitting evil in the world. God does not intervene because if he did it would require that he suspend natural laws and take away free will.
