Where is God in this time of plague?

Church leaders preached that it was God’s punishment for depravity, mostly identified as turning away from the doctrines of the church and ignoring God’s call to salvation.

Yet, among this confusion, some illumination appeared. A shift in world views emerged, changing the course of history for the better. Edward Jenner, in developing a vaccination for smallpox, encouraged a more ethical world, in which international human rights were recognised, and advocated tolerance of a greater variety of religious traditions and lifestyles.Too often, this has the debilitating effect of encouraging reliance on the divine as the cause and solution to all problems and catastrophes, depriving humans of their own responsibility for making well-considered, responsible choices.

Too often, unscrupulous religious leaders try to enhance their own status by offering fraudulent, miraculous cures, including demanding payment for driving out demons or peddling snake oil potions and miracle shawls for protection.

Not the Chinese Trump does not think that way, after all he is the world leader and he knows best..
