> Why would the creator of all things have an issue with killing folks via weather, since all humans die?

The argument here is generally that the Bible would be wrong in that case because the Bible claims that God is benevolent.

The point is to show that either one of two things is true: Either the bible is wrong or God does not exist.

Since the Bible says God exists, that's really “one of one things is true: the Bible is wrong”. But, since the Bible contradicts itself, you don’t need to go so far out of your way to prove that it is wrong.

[_8j50]

You are applying your own understanding and rules of benevolence to an Almighty creator you cannot even begin to understand. Let me spin it to you this way, if humans do evil then should an Almighty and Benevolent God ignore such evil (become unjust) or prevent such things from happenning? (Take away free will). The very first chapters of the Bible tell you bad things are a consequence of free will applied in an evil way (sin). Directly or inderctly all these things you consider "bad" are a consequence of sin. Even bad things that happen to innocent people happen because such evil, like a disease was introduced into the world by humans.

Is there anything a God entity could do that would cause you to label it not benevolent? If there isn't, then it appears that the word has sorta lost all practical meaning.
