NY Times: Israel Mourns After Stampede at Religious Festival Kills 45 ... I guess Yahweh doesn't like Jews.
Last July, God killed 13 nuns in Michigan with Covid. I guess He doesn't like Catholics either.
Trump was not reelected: I guess He doesn't like evangelicals either.
Zillions die in India: Maybe He doesn't like Hindus

Perhaps Richard Dawkins was right:
The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully.
