Roman Catholicism is the official religion of Haiti, but voodoo may be considered the country's national religion. The majority of Haitians believe in and practice at least some aspects of voodoo. Most violists believe that their religion can coexist with Catholicism. Most Protestants, however, strongly oppose voodoo.
What about when "god" attacked new Orleans? Or all the tornadoes that "god" sends to the Midwest? Or that one time when "god" stood by and did nothing while the Nazis were systematically executing an entire culture?
Nature is a series of random events. It doesn't play favorites.
Some think so. Still many Christian organizations have gone there to help as much as they can and are still doing so. It is hard to judge. If we do that we'd have to wonder if that is why all the crazy weather patterns are a punishment. I personally believe they are birth pangs to the Apocalypse which is coming soon to a theater near you.
that's just stupid everyone knows voodoo is most used for healing then evil but i guess some governments out there may have some devices that send wafers of wafers of vibration witch could start earthquakes kinda like what was done to Atlantis long time ago ,,the bible is all about taking away spiritual knowledge so the god like governments could have caused this to get voodoo out of the world but it still remains!
no, it was just nature at its best again, no worries. natural disasters in this world are totally natural, Noohies. this wasn't the work of god, this was nature again saying it was time for the movement of earth's tectonic plates
No, God doesn't punish man for his sin now. Jesus took ALL the sin for mankind on the cross and so God punished Jesus for all our sin for all time. God is a perfect Judge and doesn't punish the same sin twice, so if the punishment was taken by Jesus it could not be God punishing Haiti.
Haiti has the unfortunate predicament of being in the path of most of the hurricanes in the Caribbean. They also have the great misfortune to have have few resources to build with and a corrupt government that takes what little is left.
@space monkey. the lynchings were performed by Christians who believe the voodoo priests were bringing on the cholera. Where is the love in that?
nice,so your god disagrees with what some of the people in a country does and his solution is to try and wipe them all out,even the ones who don't? i thought your god created everything,so he's punishing people for using something he created? sure,I'm in,that's sounds real worthy of my praise,ridiculous
The natural disaster- that was just natural. It will happen!
The corrupt government? The violence in their society? Yes- a culture reaps what it sows. Voodoo is NOT some benign quaint "religion"... it's gross superstition and Haiti is not a very nice place to live, period. It is because a culture acts on what they believe and Voodoo is not nice.
In fact there have been a rash of killings lately- all in the name of their witchcraft- thinking the killings are part of the way to appease their demonic beings to stop the cholera.
Such a God would be both an incredibly cruel God and an incredibly weak one. Cruel for punishing people for their belief or lack thereof and weak for only being able to do broad sweeping gestures like a natural disaster that punish innocent and guilty alike.
Did God punish Haiti for their voodoo habits?
