He doesn't we are doing it!When europe get dirtier(with rubbish)climate change happens and gives floods and earthquakes to other continents as it can't be the continent because the continent is creating it.

Answer 4

May be you have to ask HIM directly!

But just make sure that its was HIM responsible for the earthquakes and the cyclones.  Just because HE is GOD doesn't mean that every tragedy that befall upon men are

punishments coming from GOD.

Men, are also accountable for many of the miseries that they are encountering now.

Answer 5

God is nature...nature is not punishing at all. Nature just is. It is mankind's failure to identify with nature, which makes mankind think nature is punishing.

Nature has no morals...it simply is. We have to respect nature more than ourselves in order to learn from it.

The earthquakes happeing are a result of nature and of the 'sign of the times'. We are in for more great cataclysm...this is just the beginning......

Answer 6

"God" has nothing to do with it (neither does Al Gore). The Earth is a dynamic planet and natural disasters will occur no matter where you are.

Answer 7

Who says God is punishing them?  

Maybe it's helping clear out the unhealthy situation, point the world's focus on the corrupt Junta that runs Myanmar/Burma, point out the pitfall of enforcing a one-child-per-family rule in China, cause other people of the world to pull together for the greater good instead of being so selfish, etc.  All kinds of good could come from these situations.

Or, yes, it could just simply be a couple of highly publicized Natural Disasters that occurred.

Answer 8

I just phoned up to ask, but no spokesgod was available to answer.

Answer 9

Natural disasters are not "God's" way of "punishing" people. Perhaps you could learn more about the scientific explanations of the earthquake and cyclone on Wikipedia, then you will understand it better. If you are religious, it is better to use your religious beliefs for good - perhaps you could assist or aid these poor people in some way. Amnesty International and the Salvation Army both have religious affiliations. Maybe you could look at their websites - they may have some information on what you can do to help the Chinese and Burmese in their time of need.

Answer 10

They are NATURAL disasters!
