If you credit god for the good things in your life, why not also credit him for the bad ones? Like plagues, slavery, AIDS, and so on? In your bible it states God (supposedly) caused a flood that killed everybody short of 8 people, he burned cities, turned people to pillars of salt, created disease, famine, war, and death as his personal horsemen, took the first born son of every family in egypt, even let his own son get persecuted, tortured, and murdered.

So if you get beaten within an inch of your life or fall ill, that's not "God"?

Sounds like the same "God" to me.
