Uncaring gods

re: "22 killed as 'super cyclone' ravages Bangladesh, India" (BP, May 21, 2020)


Dear editor,

It was a welcome relief that there was no mention of praying to appease the gods in "22 killed as 'super cyclone' ravages Bangladesh, India" (Bangkok Post, May 21, 2020). If the gods cared in the least, were not outright malevolent, or had one whit of potency, these natural disasters would not kill millions of innocent humans, that potentially horrific death toll mitigated only, as reported, by effective human action against the assaults of dear Mother Nature.
