You better think again because it's going to and you better get right with nature and ask your "GOD" for forgiveness!

If this is divine retribution then god can # right off to where he came from - hell. If he had ANY sense of justice then he would be punishing
those who are causing the trouble, not the innocent victims of a twisted and corrupted system. The simple fact is the majority of people just want to
live their lives in peace. It is a minority that force people into war and grossly exploit and destroy the planet and its inhabitants for their own
gain.
Please provide the breakdown of inhabitants and show the proof that they were "innocent victims" as compared to your emotional content, and we also
need proof to say this wasn't an act of man as many content. More and more people suspect us capable of creating these disasters, and while likely
these started from the weather conditions of our own planet (ie. fire started by lightning), what would be the point of "blaming God" in any event? To
God, man is like chaff or wheat, and we are harvested in both states. The be all and end all is to live well, and with sound purpose and love, to
serve God, to serve neighbours, that might meet with Gods approval and we on earth to live in peace. It does take faith in a continuance of life,
thereby not dreading death, nor the working of all ones goals and days in quietly desperate concern over the "end timer".
The problem with "blaming God" is twofold. First off, we should ascribe perfection to Him, by standards of His own origin, of divine understanding
that is in every way above our human understanding. Our minds can only absorb so much information at once, and if we absorb more than we have
knowledge of, it's easy to be entirely lost in one vast mode of thinking, while the balanced truth demands that we are also understanding of many vast
modes of thinking. Without a balance from the conclusions of all that pertains to this business of living, how can we establish good decisions, such
as a Platonic Republic might offer, let alone accomplish Gods sense of righteousness and ideal standards? Gold can be further purified to become
translucent, and there's always room for improvement. I believe angels are probably fascinated and enlivened with their lives of service, the very
notion is regenerative!
More to the point, starting off from the perspective of blame is a step backwards. Anyone who makes the effort to be closer to a heavenly
understanding of matters may avoid the majority of situations they find themselves trapped in by being wise and seeing alternatives early, and they
are often gifted with the foresight and concerns that would not surface without such calm rationale in place. Perhaps signs, warnings, visions, and
messages were already delivered, and certainly the times are well known about from many prophesies.
The NAFTA superhighway was maybe hit, and we'll have less China problems for a while! I'm still looking for a few bright points in this, besides the
fire cyclones.
