Does God take sides?

Does God take sides? Is He partial?  

That's a common question asked mostly by young people or those who are at the receiving end. 

And the answer to that question, according to me, is YES! Certainly! 

There are enough theological and philosophical proofs to prove this point. 

God is always on the side of the weak and the marginalised.  My simple logic for this stance is that if he weren't, the strong would have trounced and annihilated the weak long long ago!! 

But for all apparent reasons, God's presence seems not to change the equilibrium.  The unjust, strong, corrupt, rich, dominant... seem to have their way... if not always, most of the time.  So what does God being on the other side mean?  

Two most practical and rational responses that I've come across are the following: 

1. In the Mahabharata, the Lord Krishna, is on the side of the Pandavas.  He does nothing divine or supernatural!  He does not fight, he does not strategise.  There's no magic he performs neither to defeat the enemy nor strengthen the Pandavas.  All that he does is steer the chariot!  
2. The second is the instance in the movie Avatar, when faced with insurmountable odds, the Na'ave people set out to wage war with the human, Jake asks Eva (the deity of the Na'ave) to support the Na'ave people.  And his better half states, 'Eva does not take sides.  She protects only the balance of life!'  

That mere presence, that balancing act is what actually God does being on the side of the less privileged.  The fight is not between humans and God.  It is between humans and humans!!
