Dear Pastor,

I am writing you to ask a religious question. Do you believe God is punishing Jamaica by withholding rain on the land? Is Jamaica more wicked than other countries? I know of other countries where people kill each other more often, so why would God hold back the rain from us? I would like your views.

Dear Unnamed,

Jamaica is a wonderful place. In every country there are good and bad people. The people in Jamaica are no more wicked than those of other countries. I do not know the real cause for the lack of rain. I do not believe it is because the people are wicked. you should not believe God is punishing Jamaicans by withholding rain. My Bible tells me God is a loving and merciful God.

Pastor
