A simple question

I have followed this thread as much as possible and understandably much is quite technical but I have a simple question, can bad weather alone bring down a modern airliner?

I just a member of the public interested in aviation and have been under the impression for years that there is no turbulence that could bring down modern aircraft at cruising height. Am I being naive?

Apologies if this question is a bit 'aviation for the under 5's'
