Peruvian Earthquake
While it's terrible that so many people lost their lives I couldn't help but notice that one of the places worst hit was a church in Pisco where hundreds died while observing Mass. How do you square that one with the idea of God?

Easy. Either God is not omnibenevolent, or he is not omnipotent.
Nor does he/she/it exist at all.
On that note, why do we view God as a male?
Well, as Richard Dawkins pointed out, the Biblical god is aggressively male.
because he was thought up by a bunch of men who couldn't believe, or stand, the fact that a woman could possibly exert power over them.

I mean, what is the theist answer to this?
Oh, that's easy: since he took them altogether, god likely made up for it be giving them a group rate discount for the heavenly amusement park.....
Never understood why theists even bother to come up with explanations for why theists died... to a theist, life is a line, and the after life is Disney land
"Hitler burned people like Anne Frank, for that we call him evil.
"God" burns Anne Frank eternally. For that, theists call him 'good.'
