Typhoon Haiyan, the strongest tropical storm to ever hit the Philippines, is a devastating form of God's punishment to the country because of its people's sinful acts, according to True Christian blogger Jim Soulouki.

With the entire Philippine nation in grieve sadness after losing thousands of lives to Yolanda's might, an article claiming the Philippines is punished by God went viral in the Internet and certainly drew uproars from netizens, especially Filipinos.

A day before Haiyan made its landfall in Central Philippines, Solouki published the controversial article entitled 'God is Punishing the Philippines.'

In this short piece, the writer talked about the Philippines' sinfulness by tolerating homosexuality, prostitution and other forms of sins. He then tackled that Catholicism itself as another reason why the country suffered the calamity in cataclysmic proportion.

"Did you know that God is punishing the Philippines for their tolerance of homosexuality, prostitution, Catholicism, and other sins? The Philippines are about to feel God's wrath in the powerful form of a cyclone so great that the world has never experienced one of this intensity.

"If those of you in the Philippines had repented, you would not need to be punished. But you tolerate prostitution, homosexuality, and adultery, and God will make an example of you, much like he has with Haiti," Solouki stated.

God Hates The Philippines?

Solouki went on to tell everybody that God hates the Philippines, and at the time, asked Filipino to repent for their sins.

"Do not cry to God for mercy now, you sinful heathens. You have already rejected Him, and now that you face impending punishment, there is nothing that you can do.

"God will not help you now. God hates the Philippines, as is clear by the impending cyclone. Repent, sinners, or you may be next on God's hit list!

True Christian Blog defense

After receiving tremendous backlash from netizens, Solouki attempted to clear the air by posting an article defending its stance that God is indeed punishing the Philippines for its sins.

"Our recent posts on the Philippines have drawn lots of attacks and hatred towards our True Christian blog and mission. People act as if we have stated that the Philippines is the only nation that God hates."

"We have not said that at all. God hates all nations where heathens and sinners dwell. God hates sinfulness in all its forms, and hates many countries across the whole world! For example, God hates Haiti!," The True Christian Blog posted.
