If he is to be considered responsible for good things, I feel it is only fair he be considered responsible for bad things, as well.
What do you think of this?

I believe God's actions are impersonal

Have you considered forgiving God? If you think He's broken his own Laws, one way of fulfilling the Law, is to forgive the accused. Condemning God, over and over and over, doesn't seem to be doing any good, so try something different, like Jesus did. Forgive those who trespass against us...
Give the guy a chance...

God is Sovereign over all. He is the Potter - we are clay. The Potter does with the clay what He wills - the clay does not. Yes God can cause calamity - yes God can bring peace - all is under His authority and will.
God will not be mocked. He can bring judgment on this earth as well as in our afterlife - but it is His call - not ours.
Jesus Christ came to save us from ourselves and our sin - He is the Way, the Truth, the Life - give yourself to Jesus and you will have no judgment - God will see Jesus instead. Blessings dear one. God is SO good!!!! Also there is no evil in God - it is against His character. He loves us - he made us.

The reason is God does not will or intend the bad things, but only allows them to happen as a natural consequence for past actions we are learning to avoid. It is similar to how our bodies and environment are meant to be healthy and balanced in harmony, but sickness and disease happens whenever there is something wrong or off balance, as a "symptom" that something need to be corrected or restored. We would never learn to identify and prevent these imbalances or disorders if they didn't cause us problems or pain great enough to motivate us to seek corrective action.
The overall purpose of this life process is good -- to "learn" the cause and cure for suffering and sickness. If we cannot resolve in one generation, we build on the past and improve things for the future. The bad things happen in life as a result of past actions not yet corrected or forgiven and healed; and the purpose is not to suffer without relief, but to learn to avoid and prevent such suffering so there can be relief.

Don't blame God for all our religious leaders failing to teach us just how mean and nasty God can get. The world will find out once again just how mean our God can be when He decides to once again pay us earthlings a visit.

I've often felt the same way! A car crashes, killing 3 kids and one of them lives, not a scratch. They all say....Oh God was very wonderful and saved that little kid. (but no mention of the others that died horribly!) Bunch 'o morons.

The Bible tells us that God is love, we are His children, He loves us and will not hurt us.
Satan is the evil one and does his best to blame all evil on God.
If you want to read and learn God's Word, here is a day by day outline on how to read and study the Bible:

"We have shown man the path of truth and the path of falsehood; he may choose either the path of guidance and offer the thanks, or choose the path of ingratitude." (76:3)
To attribute man's volitional acts to God is, therefore, rejected.
