Others died in different ways, but none of the good people left got seriously sick or died until after most of this group was punished. I personally had some tell me they had done the wrong thing and had been very bad people, others came and apologized to us at our new church. They tested God and realized He wasn't going to put up with people tearing apart His work, most of those people are dead now or seriously ill and they lost their church building a little while back because new people were not joining and they had to few people to be able to pay the bills.
Now you can criticize what I've said but, it's true, it became true to the ones left, they admitted they had done a great wrong to God and the previous members.

As someone whose new wife suffers from a series of chronic illnesses that cause her immense pain and suffering on an almost daily basis, I can say that if your god exists, and he finds this kind of illness to be an appropriate response to any kind of action, then he is an immoral psychopath who neither deserves respect or worship, nor should even expect it. If you then accept that god's actions as at all moral or deserved, then Chas was right on the money when he called you morally bankrupt.
What is wrong with you, that you see what you perceive to be god killing people and striking them down with persistent illness, and your conclusion is "yes, this is an appropriate, proportionate response to people screwing around with a church, from a moral god."?
