The birds and the bees suffices, even in faith, for an explanation of what "makes you dead or alive" - and we're not going to find many believers who maintain that god personally orchestrates every grizzly murder.
People believe whatever they want.
Deciding what is right and wrong depends on the person.
God made the gruesome deaths and sad events a reality. Allowing for them to happen will make us question the limits of power and control he has.
Believers who think he isn't responsible, just directed a slap to the concept of creation.
A God who isn't responsible is a weak God.
But creating it and putting a huge mark of warning over it, is so different from making it happen.
Colt made guns. But it's serial killers who shot the child; not Colt.
Logically; it's wrong to think he is the cause. But at the same time; he created it; put it in his test; warned people from it.

He makes you dead or alive.
What a prick he is!
Time we cut those puppet strings.
"Creator" is a big word. Everything is his creation; after all. Even eating and going to the toilet.
As there is a sky there is land. Defined what anger is; what virtue is; what sin is.
There's a scale if you thought about it; if death and misery was his lone creation then yes; he's a prick. But mercy was also of his creations.
Lions exist; but cubs and homecats also exist.
