The bible makes claims that he's a good guy, but then shows his favorite means of trying to solve a problem is by killing people. Which doesn't actually work, given how many people supposedly died, and in the present day we still have a lot of problems. If his ways are so alien to us, and some christians clai we need a god to fill some vague void in our lives, then we need a different god. This one is defective.
If there is a God who created everything--and he very much expects his creation to behave, what part of that leads you to believe that he does not have the right to judge someone and take their life? You seem to be saying that God did not have the right to judge them and take their life because the right thing to do was wait for someone to die of some other cause and then judge them? What would make the former less 'right' than the latter? Do you understand how insignificant a human lifetime is to an eternal God? It does not even register.
