People are definitely a cause of suffering. And God is ultimately responsible for all of it, because he has the ability to stop every single bad thing that anybody ever does (not to mention, the multitude of bad things people don't do). Us having free will does not excuse him of his neglect and willful malice. If God isn't going to stop any of these things, and God actually makes things worse with random disasters on top of human-generated misery he refuses to stop, there's no point in having a god around.
