Back when hiv became a problem many christians believed that HIV was god's punishment to gays. The coronavirus seems to spare children and kill the elderly. So is the coronavirus punishment to the boomers for all the sins they have commited?
 
So iow, back then people were talking nonsense that we now must repeat.
 
God's wrath falls on sinners, not boomers who are possibly the least sinners of all of us. Now if we're talking about curses, I think Trump was Satan's curse on mankind.

Well it certainly makes Trump's cuts to social security more doable, but I am not sure God is involved in the calculus.

No, it's nature's refutation of globalism.

If boomers are democrats.
 
No, but I do believe it's just a part of Bible prophecy being fulfilled...pestilence would be a notable feature of the time period preceding the “great tribulation"...Matthew 24:3, 21; Luke 21:10, 11...
 
God is a conjured-up fictional character similar to what you'd find in Greek Mythology, or even the imaginary characters many of us believed in during our childhood.

Like the mythological creatures and the figments of our wild imaginations, there is absolutely no proof of the existence of a divine power known as God - absolutely NONE!

It's time to quit believing in far-fetched fairy tales and listening to those voices inside your heads, folks. Praying to an asshole god isn't going to get you anywhere!

I suppose that is what over-pious "Bible Christians" love to think.
Normal Christians do not think so.

So, does it?
And who are sinners?
Parents who tell their children about the Easter Bunny.

And an everloving Christian God sends them to eternal hell for it in his love - if those over-pious "Bible Christians" are to be believed.

Many Christians believe whatever is asked of God the Father in God the Son's name will be granted so they can always pray and they will be safe.
 
As I see, 3 out of 9 voters actually voted for Yes here.
Was that a joke, or do some really believe such an absurd nonsense?

Even more evidence that religion is nothing more than purposeful suspension of reason and critical thought.

In this case: "Is the coronavirus god's wrath against boomers?" I agree 110 % with you.
Everybody who believes such cruel nonsene should be ashamed of himself.

When your god gives a child cancer, what sins has that child committed?

That has nothing at all to do with the 'wrath of God'. God doesn't 'give' cancer to children. God doesn't interfere with the natural state of human existence. Cancer is just a condition of human life. So no, God doesn't give children cancer, God doesn't create children born without arms, God doesn't allow children to be raped or murdered. You're very wrong if you believe that God would do any harm or allow any harm to children.

Faith doesn't provide anyone with these answers.

No, the coronivirus has nothing to do with God
 

You are right about that but God does give us answers to why...Satan challenged God's right to rule mankind in the the Garden of Eden...in order to answer that challenge, which is not one of power, by any means, but one of sovereignty, the only way to answer that challenge is time...God has stepped back, as you stated, "God doesn't interfere with the natural state of human existence." for a time, to allow that challenge to play out...to actually prove who's rule is better for mankind...Satan's or God's...1 John 5:19 confirms that fact and...

"We know that we originate with God, but the whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one."

Soon, Satan's rule will come to an end and God's rule will begin for all of mankind...

“In the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed. And this kingdom will not be passed on to any other people. It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it alone will stand forever," Daniel 2:44

"With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them. And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” Revelation 21:3,4
 

Your omnipotent god allows children to suffer. He is a psychopath.
