According to you, there are no wicked people who are successful because God either drowned them or burned them. Please.

Honestly. There are plenty of "successful" wicked people and has been thoughout history. Look at Ahab and Jezebel. You assume because you're a "leader" or "wealthy" your "successful". That's nonsense. God doesn't measure success by those factors. The only reason anyone is in a position of authority or wealthy is because it was God's will.

You are scaring me now. That is precisely what Islam believes. If that is so, why would God then flood the earth, and rain fire, as you say, on the wicked men? Aren't they wicked because it's God's will?
