Of course. There is a whole branch of Christian theology, apologetics, that is devoted to justifying good ol' God's depraved indifference and/or sadistically punitive behavior toward humankind. It's clear how that increasingly irrelevant intellectual exercise has been retrofitted to meet the needs of a secular society. Capitalist apologetics is indeed the prime preoccupation of the high priests of the marketplace, economists.
