In my opinion "no".
This sort of teaching/thinking results in the spiritual rape of people who are undergoing difficult times.

1God does not do evil he or she does not punish God is pure love
2God does not pollute the earth People do.
Put yourself in Gods shoes a being that is beyond time
we live in a universe of linear time He or she does not. So imagine the worst pain you can. Imagine that pain taking place for a nano second. It wouldnt be a big deel would it. When a human life is a nano second and having arrived in heaven and have come to the realization that your pain was a imperceptible blib in the entire span of your soul that has existed along with God beyond time forever. Then things come into place and judging them with our tiny lobed minds that can not comprehend a universe where linear time does not exist is not productive.
What is Good and what is Bad.
I dont know I can only accept the universe the way it is and particapate with joy in the sorrow of the world.Compasion without attachment without judgement we are not attached to our bodies long enough to see the picture our souls see.

No, absolutely not. It is just the result of our world. Before the original sin, the world was perfect. Since that time, disease has come into the world. Not as a punishment, but because of what the world has become--our surroundings, the toxins, chemicals and poisons we are exposed to daily. How could you possibly suggest a small child with health problems is being punished for sin?

I don't think God is punishing people for their diseases as well as there day to day problems in life. We all are given free will, which means free choices, who can say what these choices will be because everybody effects everyone one way or the other, it just takes time. In other words what goes around comes around. We blame so much on God and never consider this fact.

I don't believe that's God way of punishing people. Maybe to educate them through illness and sufferings so they could develop more patience, compassion and understanding. When you're in pain (physical & mentally), you tend to go beyond your own belief and start to look for answers towards the bigger picture in life.

God does not punish people by giving them problems and killing them.He may allow it.His desire for us is to be healthy and prosperous,but we live in an imperfect world and we all make choices and different things happen,sometimes it's bad things.God does not rejoice in our suffering.

I believe that the only things that God gives us is unconditional love and strength to help us through hard times. His love and strength is always there, waiting patiently for us to ask for it and accept it. I do not believe that he makes bad things happen or even tests us. We make our own choices and we have to deal with the consequences of those choices. If we happen to make a bad choice then He'll help us through it.

NO! It is the result of original sin of Adam.
Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:

God does not issue problems or cancer, these are just symptoms of living in a sinful toxic world.
