With 16,000 people dead and climbing due to the earthquake in Syria and Turkey, how can religious people still say that there is a kind and merciful god/diety who looks after them?

Most of them will say it was all part of god's plan but no one can tell you what the plan is. Only god knows. This is similar to how god gets a pass while killing everyone on earth except for one family because his book says "people were exceedingly wicked" The unborn were even wicked. The terrible god apparently does not like natural reproduction and I'm sure those killed in the earthquake were guilty of that in some way.
Sarcasm or not, I used to be a believer and I'm sure you can see I will never make that mistake again.
