Theodicy (S): Pandemic as punishment for Sin. Or not!
Text of excerpt, if available
We see this in the most detestable form in “so called” religious leaders who blame God for the outbreak of coronavirus! Roberto de Mattei called the coronavirus “the killer of globalization” and “a scourge from God,” and he reminded followers that “God sends tribulations to families, cities, and nations for the sins they commit.” Robert Jeffress, pastor of FBC Dallas, TX preached a sermon entitled, “Is the coronavirus a judgement from God?” and claimed, “All natural disasters can be traced to sin.” The ridiculous view that sin is the explanation for all suffering is as old as the Bible itself, and it should have been put to rest long ago when Jesus rejected the idea.
