I am a pretty "religious" person by comparison to most. Capo, I can definitely see why you would question the reason for these events. My answer to you: I really do not know. One of the main points in having faith is believing even when we are in our darkest hours. This clearly is one of those moments in life. I firmly believe that God set the rules of nature, and that everything happens for a reason. And like Omnipotent Superman explained, He gave humans the powerful gift free will to do and believe what we want.

Since this is a natural disaster, fingers cannot be pointed. I firmly believe that Earth is not the final destination for humans, and that some people are called out sooner than others. There is a time for everyone to exit this world, but we never know when that will be. I'm sorry if this confuses or doesn't answer anything for you, but there's not much more that I can explain. Some things were simply not made for man to discover on this Earth.
