The prophet Amos asked this question: Does evil befall a city unless the Lord has done it? And there is no — well, there’s only one Creator in the world. By him all things were made, and without him was not anything made that was made. For that evil befall a city unless the Lord has done it — in a matter of hours a city is wiped out by a typhoon followed by the usual tidal wave, and we wonder why the Lord did it.1126 ¶1
