I'm not Christian, however I respect everyone's personal opinions and beliefs.
I don't think the Gods had anything to do with the tsunami. Within my spiritual path our main belief that all other aspects of our tradition is built upon is called Dallethys. Dallethys is truly *the* unifying and central concept/belief of the Pellor Tradition. It is not suffice to say that Dallethys means "good" or merely "right." It is far more complex, as well as subtle, than that. It is the central and very essences of all that Pellorys teaches. It is a multi-layered and complex belief... yet, at the same time, it simply "is".
Ok, so what is it then? When we were discussing "Good and Evil" - and what we call that -- it could be stated that Dallethys is this "Good". Dallethys could be stated as the "natural order" or the "right order"... the "Truthful essence of All"... the way things were "intended to be"... the natural "alignment" or "balance" of all things. Dallethys is found in everything -- and is supposed to be emulated in all that Pellors do -- thoughts, words, deeds, etc. A Pellor must always follow Dallethys (The Right Way) in order to restore Dallethys (The Original Order). You could say that Dallethys is alignment or balance. Dallethys is not personal, so anything that it "does" it does without judgement on a personal level -- it always seeks to restore balance -- that is its "goal."
SO... it is my opinion, and that of my tradition itself, that the tsunami was an act of Dallethys -- this was the "pendulum" of "balance" swinging back. It is most unfortunate that people were harmed in the process --- of course, we don't view death as an "end"... it is only another doorway to the next step.
I'm still, however, trying to wrap my brain/spiritual-beliefs around the loss of human life -- and how that fits into the scope of Dallethys. We do not believe that death is the end of life -- it is just the end of that human life.
.... anyway, that is what I have to share right now on this. As more comes, I'll share. You all do the same.
