We pretend that we know what kind of being god is (all-wise, all-knowing, just, merciful, etc.), then rationalize instances where god breaks out of character (He lets kids starve in Africa because of XYZ). In my opinion, we don't know anything about god.
But to each his/her own.

I think there's absolutely a way to know it's God. And that, in and of itself, demonstrates his level of care for His children.
