The planet is in big trouble because of man's free will. We do not even know if earth quakes can be caused intentionally. I do not believe that God would ever cause suffering.
Then why do so many animals eat each other alive without a kill bite strategy that some animals were programmed to use? This is the classic contradiction brought out by Hume in his Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion: How could an omnipotent omniscient God who is also moral and good, not only allow suffering, but also create it. I do believe that people create their own Karma. Maybe Chickens actually do come home to roost. Who is to say well this is because of that? I think the only thing to do now is to assist in whatever way one can. If I were a monk from Nepal I may have one opinion. If I were Tibetan living under Chinese domination I may think something else. The law of cause and effect, one aspect of the divine intelligence known as God is always functioning. So to try and figure out if God was angry I doubt it is about blaming our mistakes on God. > > I just wish that these things could happen even more frequently in more places. Human being forget quickly. George Bush will say oh what a tragedy today and campaign to bomb Iran tomorrow. People will pass through 9/11, Iraq missiles of mass destruction, the economic disaster, Katrina and on and on and still think about putting a Republican who wants to continue the current strategies in office. > > Brasil never has MAJOR DISASTERS but one is coming I believe, why? Because of the way the country treats its own people. No matter how much money this country makes, no matter how much resources it has a great percentage of the people live in complete poverty. Only a few people are rich but those few control all and rape all. I say bring it on, maybe the message will be loud enough that people will begin to listen. > > God speaks softly we ignore, God speaks a little louder we hear but rationalize the message away, the world begins to speak and then we think well what to do?
