Musings of Magick and Wanderlust

Someone on my facebook posted that Natural disasters have to happen to cleanse the earth of the dead so that new life can come and replace it. She believes we need them and without them the world would be completely destroyed. I was totally baffled by this statement then she added that it was "God's will for it to happen.." Where is the logic in this.. I'm totally amazed that she even said it.

Now..  would it not be more prudent to pray for the natural disasters to not happen? She is essentially saying that natural disasters happen to bring new life to replace the ones lost during a natural disaster.. does that make sense to you? New people will replace the ones who died during said disaster. Forgive me, but I'm so very glad I don't follow her god.. what kind of god would allow this to happen, would want this to happen?
