Magnitude 7.1 earthquake hits southern Japan, 13 had been confirmed dead

It is more fun criticizing

From ABC news

A magnitude 7.1 (7 or 6.8 based on conflicting assessment) has hit southern Japan, Kyushu island, with 13 confirmed dead.  The airport was closed, train service ceased, water and electricity service stopped.   With hundreds of thousand evacuated due to aftershocks...  There was a tsunami warning which was later lifted.  

The 2nd floor of Aeon mall collapsed, and there was a reported gas explosion.   Employees and guests were trapped.  

This tops the suffering of Japanese;  this is on top of rains and flooding they are all ready suffering

We sympathize and we are with the people of Japan and victims at Kyushu island in this terrible disaster.

A swarm of earthquakes also hit the Philippines Wednesday 77 in all... with 4 in magnitude 5 and above 

Does God want you to be poor and to suffer?

This question is often asked by persons who could have been poor or those who are suffering in many religious forum  In a way some philosophers are correct that religions is being seen by people as a pain killer (like an opiate or shabu)

The religious leader said the following:

1.  God does not want you to be poor. There is a reason why some people are poor and some are rich.  This dichotomy is needed so that there are people who are poor who can work for the rich.  If everybody was rich, no one would labor and work

2. It was our destiny that we should eat from the sweat on our face (it means that a person has really worked very hard) to earn his bread.

3. God is on the side of the poor and He wants poor people to enter the Kingdom of God.  And in the other life, in the judgement day, the poor who are virtuous shall gain eternal life.  Take note it is not automatic poor people to enter the kingdom of God.

4.  Suffering make people tough.  When we ask God for something he gives us something to learn to be better than before.    Apprenticeship, tribulations, bad experiences make us tough and hard to fight challenges of life.

From Bible Believers - why does God allow believers to suffer
