Natural Divine Punishment

NATURAL DISASTERS?

Many view natural disasters as divine punishment. the fist of God.” some religious leaders described events like Hurricane Katrina as “God’s wrath” on “sin cities.” Christians for the tsunami, deepening the religious divide. The god Shiva was angry because people were not living the right way. A Buddhist religious leader in the United States said concerning natural disasters: “We don’t know why these things happen. We don’t even know why we’re here.”
When you see images of wrecked homes, lost lives, and broken hearts, do you sometimes wonder, ‘Why does God permit so much suffering?’ Or do you think, ‘God must have good reasons for allowing such things to happen but has not disclosed those reasons’?  Men should take practical steps that people can take to reduce the risk of injury and death should a natural disaster threaten or occur.
