I love natural disasters so people will know that God does exist and no power, no money in this world could stop the Almighty God. Everyone wants to be patted on the back and expect God to give them joy give them this and that but NOT at all want to please God by doing simple things he ask for in the Holy Bible. This ain't nothing compare to the end times when Jesus comes back you won't even have time to grab your wife and kids you gonna say I wish I knew it was coming when this time God is still giving us chances over and over while we grieve his spirit so much.

You ask a priest to pray for a sick person , if the recover they " it is a miracle, god be praised", if they die "ah it is gods will", they wriggle out of it just like a politician being grilled by a reporter. What sickens me is the fact that a lot of priests act as if they have first hand information, as if they definitely know the mind of the creator, to me that is sheer arrogance.

I honestly believe it is the wrath of God as well as a test for those who experience these natural disasters.

No, thats because I don't listen to imaginary concepts like "wrathful God", and "divine punishment" which are nothing more than the most primitive of superstitions.

Yes. The other bigger question is "Why does God allow suffering?"
There are many deep answers to both but one simple reason could be: to give us opportunities to help, care, give love, and RECEIVE love from others.

Why do you harvest your wheat?
Every phenomenon, every thing has its purpose, Man has been endowed with intelligence to look for the meaning of that purpose.

He is too busy trying to figure out what to do about George Bush to concern Himself with these minor things.

I did not... Evrything has its own reason why it happens.... And I think, we should always remember that from all this hardship, all this things we consider bad, Has something good to do with us.

I can honestly say that I haven't wondered that in at least 25 years, since I realized that there is no god.
