Re: God in Our Likeness
1)
When you said that Hitler killed millions of Jews while he didn't with his own pistol, you are talking about ultimate responsibility.
When you said that White House is built by americans, or an architect or a group of workers, they could be all correct as a matter of perspective, and not necessarily contradictions.
When apply this to sovereignty you may say that California belongs to the US, or those living in CA or americans, or perhaps GW Bush (from Bin Laden's perspective).
That said, you wont be able to find a "good God" or simply "God" who is omni-potent, omni-present and omni-scient while he doesn't kill, in a sense of ultimate responsibility and sovereignty.
And virtually whoever gets killed in whatever situation, you may say in a sense, God killed him. I think God won't reject your saying. Yet it's far from saying that God is evil.
2) Wars and Caesars
3) tradedies
There are more to say but still I am busy, I might get back later when I have time. Actually you may figure it out if you would like to think more and think deep.
To me, you have just proven that the Bible God is a true God, what left is the question that why He is a loving God.
In short, you expect a good God to save lives, while a good God saves souls. You expect a good God to look after lives on earth, while a good God looks after afterlives. You expect a good God to save more lives, while a good God saves more souls. You scope is focusing on 120 years on earth, while a good God is focusing on some 1000000000000000000000............years.
That's the point.
