Man-Made Hurricane

A lot of people are asking why our compassionate God would allow all kinds of natural disaster to happen. Why the tsunami in Asia? Why the Hurricane Katrina?

Tsunami and hurricane happen naturally, that is, something unstoppable by mankind. However, the damage caused by them can be prevented. The death toll resulted from the tsunami in Southern Asia can originally be significantly reduced. According to an article in the Reader’s Digest, an amateur specialist once warned the Governments in Southern Asia about the tsunami immediately after it happened. However, due to the effect it will have on tourism, the devastating news was not released to the public. Thus, a lot of people are not able to escape in time.

According to another article, in New Orleans, which is now plummeted in suffering and misery, about 80% of the population has fled the city before Katrina arrived. The remaining ones are the old, the sick, and the poor, with a majority of them being Black people.

These unfair scenes happen a lot in societies that consist of a huge disparity between the rich and the poor. Countries which care only about personal benefits are causing more harm than the tsunami and the hurricane.

If we don’t spread around our society the idea of dispensation according to the Good News of the Gospel, we will all be walking towards the road of self destruction.
