"God works on a bigger canvas."
Well here is the thing, death is inevitable part of life. God did not kill them, the bridge collapsing, and the Terrorist attacks did. We live in a fallen world this kinda stuff happens. Thats a guaranteed thing Death and taxes.
However Jesus says that whoever has faith in him, will never see Death. Does this mean we will live forever on earth? No. If you want to know what he means read a Book called 90 minutes in heaven. In it the guy talks about how when he died he crossed straight over to heaven, he never saw death. This guy was dead for 2 hours, and came back to life.
This is why people say Jesus saves, if anything this shouldn't be an opportunity where you begin to question God's good nature. Instead you should be convicted and realize that life can end at any moment, and you need the Good Lord on your side to save you.

To kill someone is a statement of fact, Can you prove that God is responsible for these calamity's?
Do you remember that your forefather Adam rebelled against God's way of rule, and chose to rule himself, and make things the way he wants? I don't remember God having anything to do with that man made bridge or that man made World Trade Center? or putting any idea's into those people that decided to blow it up?
Now that you know it was not God's doing, who do you want to blame?
Now if you are wondering why God hasn't been moved to act in be hath of things like this the answer is because of his time table. He has allowed man to prove that man's way is better.
The time now is very short, until he will act, but he leaves it up to man whether man wants God's rule over the earth or not.
Right now its time for individuals to take sides. So which side do you chose? Man's Rule or God's Rule? You chose by your actions, By what you think and what you do.
You either go on just living or you study God's instruction book to find out what he wants you to do? You ask QUESTIONS.

There is a big difference between causing the death of people and allowing death to occur.
You can judge God when you step in and stop anyone and everyone you see from doing harm to another person by word or action. You DO have the power to intercede always, but you don't. Why is that?

Everyone dies, but I know your sentiments, some of those people were children. The point is that if there is a God, he's not a good one now is he if he can let little children die. (not just in the examples that you put, but in any case of anyone dying) why doesn't he help the poor in Africa, the one's who the missionaries -shudders- are "trying" to help, why doesn't he just make it rain and let stuff grow like He used to? Point is, if he's out there, he abandoned us to our fates. But since he's not there, no big deal

The short answer:
Man wanted to rule himself, so God said "OK! Try it!" For 6,000 yrs. we have and failed.
Will He continue to let us fail? No. He has his only plans. Originally, it was Adam & Eve in Eden, under God's rulership. They were to fill the earth with perfect descendants to expand Eden to fill the earth. God does not abandon His plans.
The Bible tells us he will restore the earth to paradise and a resurrection of the dead. Those who did not get a chance to decide whom they would serve: Him or Satan & man.

Why didn't He save that lady with Cancer, or the guy from the car accident, or the little kid with...some disease?
It was their time to go home...we shouldn't be mad, yes we are upset...but we should be happy for them, they're in a better place.
P.S. the bridge wasn't terrorism.

God gives people free agency to do what they will. Those who murder others will get a just punishment for it. But he doesn't interfere with people's freedom to choose what they will do.

I hate to break this to you, but all people die. Some people die before other people. It's interesting...every body dies though. No one lives forever. Humanity just thinks its unfair when someone doesn't die in their sleep.
Therefore, God did not kill. People die. You will too some day.

God didn't kill them, have you ever heard of the devil? The bible tells us that Satan comes to kill, steal and destroy.
