So are you saying weather as an entity is not subject to morality, for it is just "weather", acting without intention or purpose? If so, God would also be neither good nor bad, as in this analogy he would also supersede our opinions and be acting without intention or purpose. I'm fairly sure this isn't your position on God as you've already stated he is always good. I think the weather analogy is perhaps a little weaker than you estimated when you presented it.
Weather aside, if we can subjectively view God as either good or bad, how do we come to the conclusion that he is always good but not always bad? It seems kind of biased to assume that all the bad things he does are good regardless of our interpratation. It's cult-like. This authority figure can do whatever he likes and even if we don't like it, he's still right no matter WHAT we think? How so?
