Yup people need to stop blaming God for bad things going wrong in their life or life in general because if he interfered with our lives we wouldnt be free
I think it's more a concern for religions who claim their particular God is correct; and the Problem of Evil proposed by Philosopher Epicurus (circa A.D 33)
Or perhaps the Euthyphro dilemma posed by Socrates:-
"Is the pious (τὸ ὅσιον) loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?"
Or simply put : "Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?"
if he interfered with our lives we wouldnt be free
And if he hadn't sent a (great) flood, many animals would not be extinct. But of course, you'd have to be foolish to believe that geological events are dictated at the will of a deity. Because you'd have to explain hurricanes, earthquakes............ especially in religious areas; you'd expect God to protect the pious.
