Typhoon, earthquake, tsunami, tornado, flood, famine, pestilence, epidemic, etc, are destructive forces of nature. But the most destructive force in all of nature is human stupidity. Especially in the Philippines as inspired by the power of Christianity. In most of our schools, colleges, and universities - it is still being taught during our formative years that there is a better world to come after we are dead. Therefore the love of country here or the love of fellow-citizens now is not that important or precious as the love we must always have for Jesus - the Savior of the Filipinos.
For my part, as an atheist, I say it does not matter whether we believe in the existence of God or not. After all, since the 16th century, in all of our troubles as a people and our problems as a nation in this already 21st century God has never been omni-present. He is only always omni-absent.
