Nobody Up There, Sorry; Only Humans Can Help Humans

May mga nababasa at naririnig nga rin ako na tinututya ang Pilipinas at mga Filipino na kesyo bakit daw kaya sa Pilipinas pumunta ang superbagyo at pumatay sa napakaraming tao at sumira sa napakaraming gamit, na para bang sinasabi na kasi makasalanan o mga gago ang mga Filipino kaya dapat ngang parusahan at bawasan.

Alam mo, ang problema sa mga taong ganyang mag-isip e di relihiyon ang isyu...kundi e mga kapos sila sa kaalaman at pinag-aralan.

Bakit kamo?

E kung malawak ang kaalaman nila sa History at Anthropology at Geography na lang e dapat alam nila na ang mga sumusunod:

1) Mount Vesuvius erupted in AD 79, leading to the destruction of the Roman cities of Pompeii and Herculaneum and killing thousands of people.

2) The Great East Japan Earthquake of 2011 - which, according to Japanese Police Agency, 15,883 died, 6,150 injured, and 2,651 people missing across twenty prefectures, as well as 129,225 buildings totally collapsed, with a further 254,204 buildings 'half collapsed,' and another 691,766 buildings partially damaged.

3) The Katrina Hurricane of 2005 in the USA - at least 1,833 people and total property damage of an estimate of $81 billion (2005 USD).

4) 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake's effect on Thailand - The Thai government reported 4,812 confirmed deaths, 8,457 injuries, and 4,499 missing after the country was hit by a tsunami caused by that earthquake.

At napakarami pang iba, in any given era and country or continent in the world--and these are all natural calamities--which are natural but many of the destructive effects are caused also by human irresponsibilities.

So, in view of all these examples, it's absurd and stupid to claim that all of these catastrophes were punishments from a god. What a dumb reasoning!
