“Actually it’s an atmospheric phenomenon.”

As a Bible believing Christian - I agree.

“for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.”

I forget all of the Latin(?) terms my preacher used - but the bad things that happen due to natural events was one term. The bad things human cause on ourselves and others is another term, Satan can do evil things, and God CAN do things (floods, droughts, use nations e.g. Babylon to invade) as judgements or corrective punishments.

The ancient Jews had a pretty black and white view of why bad things happen - it was God. Not entirely correct IMHO.

How we act in response to such bad things that happen to us and to others CAN be due to God if we let Him.
