[1000 silverlings]

He killed most of them He said, because their hearts were evil and they did evil all the day long. Actually there's no telling how many perished in the flood or how many will perish in the future if they don't repent of their evil.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

To state that God does not kill people is absurd. We'd have to erase most of the Old Testament to believe that.

And more importantly, we'd have to erase Christ's sacrifice on the cross which was God-willed from before the foundation of the world for our redemption.
