It killed an estimated 20-30 million people in Europe (between one-third and two-thirds of Europe's population) and 75 million people worldwide.

That kind of a "god" is a repugnant, vicious monster.

God created the black death.
He just wanted to cull the numbers down a bit. And he had promised not to flood the entire place again so he had to come up with something different.
But all those people that died painful lingering deaths, many without been given the last rites and would have ended up in hell for an eternal torment. God loves them.
He just has a quirky way of showing it.

Yes. Isaiah 45:7 . You see it as repellant but really it all teaches us quite a bit.
It is now a theory put forward that the entire problem..including the quick decline of the worlds population in general... was made by a volcanic eruption which blotted the sunlight for quite sometime and produced famine everywhere around the world.
If you believed in God.. you would know those people are safely tucked away for a nice long nap until the last day.
Too many misconceptions about why things work as they do.

Do you recall how people lived during that time period??
the sanitation, trash, dead things all ended in the river / water supply...or was dumped out the window into the street...
food storage of grain crops was not kept clean and dry, or protected from rats...
the medical comprehension of anything was seriously way behind the knowledge that the ancient greeks and people of the middle east practiced....
the old testament and the jewish / hebrew practices of keeping the grain floor swept clean....
the burying of unclean body waste out side the camp, etc....
God provided the knowledge of clean and healthy lifestyle in the old testament.......
Isn't it interesting that also during this time frame is the time period that the church with held the Bible from the common man??
over crowding and serious lack of sanitation, personal cleanliness..... whose fault is it that the knowledge was with held from the people???

God is omnipotent. This means that God is all-powerful. This means that God could have prevented the Black Plague.

He could have, but he was too late for helping. If you were God, you would be pissed, its like when you are just about to do something, it is too late to be done and as a result, you failed. I also don't understand how God is powerful almighty and can control everything, since he is eternal, but stuff like this happends.
