God kills people during natural disasters

I love how people react when they survive a life threatening situation.  Most of them, at least in America, thank god for sparing them.  What about the people god killed.  Yes, I mean killed.  If there was a god it was him that created the disaster in the first place.  He spared one life while killing another.   What makes you more valuable than the poor person who died.  I've heard survivors say that god still had work for them to do.  Then they go on with their boring life not doing anything to accomplish this deity ordered task.  Give me a break.  You just got lucky!!!
