“And I’ll add that if he did exist and is the type of being that would punish a two year old like that, he’s not worthy of being worshipped”
Losing a child to a terrible disease is horrible to be sure. But again you are claiming that it is the fault of God. Many take the view that God is somehow required to immediately step in and solve their problems everytime they get into trouble, but then they ignore him at all other times of their life. And then if he doesn’t respond he is evil and punishes people.
The original issue can be summed up this way…. the first humans rejected God’s authority and selfishly decided they could take care of themselves. So God stepped back and allowed them sufficent opportunity to prove their point. And humans proceeded to make a mess of things and expect him to come fix the problems they caused. So illness, disease, and suffering is the fault of humans, not God.
Yes that is the correctly understood rendering. The point behind the 10, as well as other commandments, was to show that the Creator reserved to himself alone the right to determine what constitutes right and wrong. That was the whole issue at the beginning, humans thinking they could decide for themselves what is right and wrong. (if humans were allowed to each decide for themselves what is good and bad we would have a world of chaos, which….is where we currently find ourselves) Thus the title of Almighty God, the final word. He alone has the right to decide what conduct is deserving of having one’s life taken away.

Surprised that some notables haven’t been mentioned. like Stevie Ray Vaughn, Gary Moore, B. B. King, Jimmy Buffet, etc. One of the biggest losses IMO was Glenn Frey
That Eddie guy was okay but couldn’t hold a candle to the talent of players like Mark Knopfler, Don Felder and others…..just sayin
