7.8 Earthquake Rocks Nepal, Hundreds Dead
An anonymous reader writes: Nepal was struck by an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 today, with an epicenter 80 km east of the country's second biggest city, Pokhara. Its effects were also strongly felt in the capital, Kathmandu. Casualty reports conflict, but authorities have indicated at least 500 are dead and many more are feared to be trapped. Nepal has declared a state of emergency for the affected areas, and asked for international humanitarian assistance. India and Pakistan have both offered help. Some Indian cities were affected by the earthquake as well, and there are reports of avalanches on Mt. Everest, which has many climbers at any given time.
this is not nerd or geek news and does not belong on this site. What the fuck I've seen this story on tons of other sites hours ago.
Stay in your lane!!
Why would God do such a thing to such innocent people? Even if He didn't cause this to happen, why did He allow it to happen? He could have stopped it. But He didn't. Why did He subject, or allow the subjugation, of these people to such a horrific event? Why did he allow bricks to fall on their tender bodies? Why did he allow their homes and livelihood to be ruined? Why? Why would an entity like God, who is Loving, Caring, Just and Benevolent, allow something like this to happen?
