Are you on drugs? God killed over 100,000 people and orphaned who knows
how many children b/c people have evil thoughts? So every single person
killed was evil? Or some good people got taken out as collateral
damage?  Wow.  Good luck getting people to follow you in that nonsense.
In the interest of giving you an 'out' on this topic:
Have you ever considered that there are other things besides good and
evil?  Like natural processes? Amorality?  Consider, as i do, that
earthquakes have been occuring for millions and millions of years and
weren't really considered tragedies until they affected people. So did
they suddenly become evil the 1st time they killed a person?  When a
lion kills an antelope, is that evil?  When he kills a human, is that
evil?

In my opinion, the only way to reconcile all of this with a god is to
concieve of god as a completely removed being from any earthly or human
processes.  As soon as you pray to him to alter an outcome for your
benefit, you open the can of worms inherent in "Why did god allow
100,000 people to die?"
