God invented the fact that death can happen (and rape, torture, violence, illnesses, natural disasters, etc). That makes him responsible, in my opinion, since he didn't need to do that. (Or if he did, due to some incredibly convenient rule binding God to behave like a cock, then that just opens up way more questions than it answers.) Doings things via nature is just a buffer of responsibility, like me blaming the bat I smack you in the balls with.

Even more than that. First, God condemns people to death as punishment for Adam and Eve misbehaving, carrying the punishment of the sins of the father down into perpetuity. But also, by depriving a person of life, he's depriving them of the opportunity to possibly change one's mind about God, for better or worse, and thus he is essentially deciding their eternal fate for them. How theists see God getting a free pass in this is beyond me.
