What We Have to See through this Pandemic
As people have come to rarely think of life after the death while the material civilization is developing, people come to be less afraid of the God and the hell.
More and more people have come not to believe in existence of Heaven and the hell taught by various religions. Most of people do not believe existence of the God and Satan. Nobody seems to think about the meaning of their own existence, this world, life after death, Heaven, the hell, Satan, the God, and thus God's teaching.
Science has not proved that there is life after death, the spiritual world, a soul above a mind, and the God and Satan. So, people only think of worldly matters, turning their eyes away from the God, the source of existence of everything including this world, the spiritual world, etc. At least, people think of money more than the God.
People pray to the God, asking to make their dreams come true. But in most cases, the God seems not to listen to them. Therefore, they tend to think that there is no God or they have nothing to do with the God. Indeed, science has not yet proved that there is the God. But it cannot prove either that there is no God.
In my view, it is more likely that science proves that we do not exist before it proves that the God exists. In other words, science developed by unbelievers would gradually go out of rationality. Science might finally prove that there is no truth in science. Science might finally prove that there are no human minds that generated science itself.
But none denies that everybody dies someday. Then, the body stops biologically functioning. Nerve cells in the brain stop their work. The phenomenon called a mind should disappear. But, the content of a human mind should move to a soul above the mind, and the soul enters into the spiritual world where there is Heaven and the hell. This must be a mechanism of life set by the God.
From the beginning, without this universe, there cannot be human beings. And according to science, the probability that this universe with so many scientific laws was generated accidentally by chance is almost zero. Somebody must have planned the creation of such universe, the galaxies, the solar system, the earth, the nature in the earth, and emergence and evolution of living things, including the human kind. So, it is natural that some people believe that the God created this universe and everything in it.
If it is the God who created this world, He must be displeased as human beings created by Him have come to stop thinking of the God with respect. The angry God may decide to exterminate such human beings. To believe that the God has power to exterminate human beings, even if He does not seem to listen to our wish, must be the core of any religions.
This corona-pandemic must be a warning. The God must find it offensive that more and more people have come to less and less think of the God. Indeed, 2000 years have passed since Christ Jesus, and 4000 years have passed since Abraham. Seeing these states of minds of human beings, there is no wonder that the God decided to show His displeasure to human beings at the start of this millennium or in the early 21st century.
In other word, what we have to see through this pandemic is the wrath of the God on godless human beings.

Luke 2 King James Version
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
