It is possible, one could argue, that everyone in the village was deserving of death, so God acted justly. Frankly, this seems pretty farfetched. The notion that everyone in a particular village is evil enough to warrant death beggars belief.
So, this argument boils down to your personal incredulity.

No, it boils down to the disparity between definition of a god versus the observed reality.

There is not only no evidence for a loving, powerful, just god, the evidence stacks up heavily against the existence of one.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
