I had to look that one up. To be fair, the text says that the two bears attacked 42 boys after Elisha cursed the boys, and doesn't mention if the attack was fatal.

Not sure if this is a joke, or if you are defending God's actions?
All I see is someone trying to ensure accuracy.

Are you conflating accuracy with defending? Do you believe a wrong, should result in an alteration of truth, to make it look worse?

Straightforward answers to your questions: No. No.

But, I believe you have missed the point.

It's problematic to send a bear to attack someone -- particularly if you are the all-powerful, all-knowing creator of the universe with other methods at your disposal. Whether or not the victim dies is besides the point.
