"Some of the predictions about a New Or hurricane a year or so ago mentioned God's displeasure with the voodoo in the area as well as a lot of other demonic forces facilitating routine goings on there."
Would this sort of action be the mark of a good deity?
A culture which chooses death persistently--infanticide as well as in a host of other rebellion-against-a-perfect-Loving-Almighty God
shall eventually have it.
Otherwise, evil consumes good.
Elementary, Watson.
It's not rocket science to realize that
WHEN AN ALMIGHTY BOSS SAYS
DO ABC AND LIVE ETERNALLY; DO ABC AND HAVE MY BLESSINGS IN ABUNDANCE.
DO ZYX AND SUFFER ETERNAL DEATH AND GREAT SUFFERING IN THIS LIFE.
And a culture increasingly chooses ZYX . . . at some point a just God MUST let judgment fly.
Nevertheless, I believe that Almighty All Loving God is mercifully with the suffering in ways we can't quite discern from this limited side of the whole picture.
There are many stories of angelic visitations and comforting ushering into heaven's gates at moments of horrid disasterous deaths.
I trust God. HE DOES ALL THINGS WELL AND RIGHT.
However, He HAS given you the ability and right to shake your fist at Him and rant at Him about how you are smarter than He is and more correct than He is.
I wouldn't recommend such a habit as a survival skill.
