Why did God?
Author: JoeyPSo as you may or may not know depending on how avid of a reader you are, I have been writing a book for about three years. It is about my journey as a successful real estate investor to someone who cares more about life and less about the almighty dollar finally to a person who lives a happier life. I guess you could say that I am finally out of the “rat race”. I am thinking adventure parable with my journal being some type of old manuscript. I will probably place the story 30 years from now and have 2012 happen, burying and destroying our current way of life. Tell me what you think about that possibility.
Now for my title and my question. Why did God kill all of the people in Haiti? Why do we have any natural disasters? Please dont write for population control, because I was there, and you do not know the feeling that was among those people. Also with that, why does God tell us to Honor our parents and then give us cheats and crooked people as parents. I havent spoken with my parents in quite some time, so this isnt just someone mad at their parents. In fact, they left my sister to fend for herself at age 14, when I first enlisted in the military.
Why does God kill innocent people in natural disasters and why are we supposed to honor people that dont deserve to be honored? Please help me out with his one.
Thanks
I have gotten a couple of good comments on my other blog on activerain. Thank you for this. After some research of my own I have found that “Parent” is defined as someone who helps raise you. So with that in mind, I am very able to honor the people who have helped to raise me to who I am and I am sure you can do the same. Thank you

Joey P – It is not population control and anyone who thinks so is senseless. I’m not really sure the reasoning behind natural disasters but I believe their is an explanation or reason behind everything, even if it does not make sense to us at the time.
I had this group of friends when I was younger and we did mischevious things and had a blast just being kids. It’s funny because we called our group “The Brotherhood”. I remember having a firecracker fight the one night along with many many rounds of hoops, some got out of control but it was all awesome. What’s even more awesome is finding out what each member of that brotherhood is up to nowadays. I think everyone goes through something extremely difficult which defines them and the path they will choose. Some of us make the best of the worst and others, well not so much but it sure is nice to see someone making positive, life-changing decisions when their foundation may not have seemed strong like so many others have.
I don’t have a definitive answer to your quandry but I do think we should honor those we have in our lives that we know make a difference. Their is nothing more important than having family and something to believe in, so hold that close, honor those that you know deserve it and believe in every decision you make. Thanks for the blog!
