Can you for once show me in scripture that God created these things: hint, you can't, not because you want, which by the way is also true, but it is not found anywhere in scriptures, I still dare you to try though and when you can't please stop making unfounded statements about God.
Yahweh often creates plagues to curse those who offend him. For example:
Quote:Num 16:44-49 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Get you up from among this congregation, that I may consume them as in a moment. And they fell upon their faces.
And Moses said unto Aaron, Take a censer, and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on incense, and go quickly unto the congregation, and make an atonement for them: for there is wrath gone out from the LORD; the plague is begun.
And Aaron took as Moses commanded, and ran into the midst of the congregation; and, behold, the plague was begun among the people: and he put on incense, and made an atonement for the people.
And he stood between the dead and the living; and the plague was stayed.
Now they that died in the plague were fourteen thousand and seven hundred, beside them that died about the matter of Korah.
The bolts of lightning, often attributed to the Christian god in popular culture, was never actually used in the Bible. Far too surgical. That was Zeus' schtick.
