Really!? Do people really believe that this is the case and that Haiti happened because God neither cares or just let it happen, he didn't want to prevent the hurt and loss of thousands of Haitians? I don't think so, and it's really quite a weird viewpoint to myself.
He built the Earth knowing exactly what flaws it had in place, and he made everything in and on it. He knows that the human, and animal races will encounter times that are difficult to get through. But really whats the point in believing in a God, if He doesn't let you question it. After all, He gave us free will for a reason. He let us find out what is good and bad for ourselves, and if we don't truly appreciate what we believe, what makes us who we are, it would be quite the boring life.
It's not a punishment either, the world in fact comes closer together the bigger the disaster. We learn and we gain knowledge, and we help other nationalities get through what is affecting their countries. We send out aid, the charity that comes from other countries sometimes seem endless. We need these times in my opinion, because as the world moves on, we grow apart. Natural disasters, though devestating bring the world back together a little.
But to suggest that Haiti deserve the disaster is another thing that I find completely wrong, for making a pact with the Devil to gain their freedom, really? I didn't know that God was a vengeful God. In fact I've always been taught quite the opposite.
I've always questionned my faith, I have always questionned if it's the God that Catholicism and Christianity portray is the one that I truly believe in. You know what, I always tend to come back to the fact that I do believe in Him. I might not outwardly show a religious streak but it's something I was bought up with and can't really just ignore, I can't turn it off and no matter how much I doubted him through my teen years and such, I have always come back. That could be a sense of naivity or connections to my childhood, but that's how it goes.
It's not God that lets the disasters happen. It's the way Earth is designed.
Whether you believe that to be by the hand of God, or through Scientific means.
