Upon reading an anticle in Newsweek, Why God hates Haiti by LIsa Miller, I am engrossed with this query in my mind. Are calamities the will of God?
It is known that Haitians christian faith runs parallel to their Voodoo practice, which is a part of their African native religion.
This question was also raised by the stark flooding in Manila not so long ago.
Rabbi Kushner tells us that natural disasters are sources of inexplicable suffering. He said further that the will of God is not to send us disaster but to send us the disaster to overcome.
But how about our own notions of " gabah"? Gaba-an ka sa imong mga dautan nga buhat, moto-o mo ni-ani?
