Why is god still allowing floods that kill people?
After he saw the carnage of his flood, he promised he would never send a flood to kill people again. Yet we have floods. If your retorte is these are not world wide floods, remember you guys claim the flood of Noah's time was not world wide it is just the their world was local.

Who are "you guys"? The floods of our day are not caused by God. Very simple explanation that I bet you could have easily concluded all on your own. The real thrust of your intent is found in your third sentence. You really wish to take exception with those believers who have claimed that the Flood of Noah was not worldwide in scope.

Mother nature rages over the sin of mankind. Masaru Emoto's rice and water experiments demonstrate how negative energy can have an ugly impact on things.
So with that being said, God allows bad things to happen because man is responsible of preventing sin, however, God knows humans won't ever stop sinning until they obliterate themselves (Matthew 24:22), so He will put an end to human filth before it destroys the entire world, but before He does, He is patient with man, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance(2 Peter 3:9).

Read the text closely. It says all life, and destroy the earth.
I establish my covenant with you: Never again will all life be destroyed by the waters of a flood; never again will there be a flood to destroy the earth.”
Genesis 9:10-12

The katabole that ended the first earth age, knocked earth off its axis and created the jet streams that cause extremes in weather. In many places there have been warning systems where people have known a flood is coming, but either ignored the warning or did not warn others. The earth will not be restored until the third earth age.

Natural disasters are one of the best arguments for atheism, or at least that the creator-omnipotent-loving God is myth. The trouble is we hang on to ancient scriptures as if they are literally true, actually each culture does its best to understand these things, but things have moved on since the bronze age.

If you read the bible you will find that God gave dominion over the world to Adam and Adam let Satan gyp him out of it. So Satan is god of this world now, and he kills anybody he can.
Luke 4:6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

He's not. Satan is.
"The whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one (Satan)." 1 John 5:19
