I respect your point...but to say that then you'd have to blame those poor people for living in harms way for their own demise. God didn't tell them to live where this could occur. They chose to live there. You want to live in a volcano...you get burned.retrorich said:I don't believe in God. But if I did, I would feel that God SHOULD do something to prevent such tragedies. The earthquake caused the flood. A fault in the Earth caused the earthquake. God made the Earth. Therefore, the flood was His fault (no pun intended).
Yes, as I said it is still experiencing flawsretrorich said:The earthquake caused the flood. A fault in the Earth caused the earthquake. God made the Earth.
That is an interesting statement. I want to make two statements based on it.fromthe heart said:I respect your point...but to say that then you'd have to blame those poor people for living in harms way for their own demise.

Agree with this statement, but not with the "it's Satan's fault" statements following. God allows us humans to choose our actions, even if that means that some of us will choose to harm others. God allows nature to follow natural law, even if that means that natural dissasters will harm others. For those who ask "why," just consider the alternative. I mean really consider the repercussions.LittleNipper said:The problem I have with this poll is that it forgets that GOD ALLOWS whatever happens to happen.
The "Probem of Evil" has been "really considered" for quite some time. I would love to hear a good reason for creating natural disaster.lilithu said:I mean really consider the repercussions.
