In an article for 'Newsweek,' published on 15 January 2010, Lisa Miller tackles the theme of "The frustrating theology of suffering" under the title: 'Why God Hates Haiti.' Then she challenges: "Now with as many as 100,000 dead in last week's earthquake, a sensible person of faith has to grapple with the problem of what scholars call theodicy. If God is good and intervenes in the world, then why does he make innocents suffer? Why, as Job might have said, would God, "break me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness"? (Job 9:17-18)." What is the answer to her challenge? Is the earthquake that claimed so many lives and devastated property in Haiti last week show that God hates Haiti?
