A comment after Typhoon Nesat devastates the Philippines. Sure, I understand, a prayer can provide comfort to some people… but isn’t it demeaning to believe that we need to ask for forgiveness for our “sins” so that God may protect us from the typhoon? So if the typhoon does damage to the country (which it did), is it our fault because we are sinful in the eyes of “God”?

  1. captainnofriends answered: Not all Christians have the same beliefs. Yes a lot of Christians are “out there” but I believe in God but I don’t think that’s true.
  2. vaishino answered: It’s downright insulting. “You’re bad enough as a people that God needed to hit you with a typhoon, now apologize to God for being so awful.
