Abstract
Why does God tolerate Coronavirus pandemic? Here is a partial and unjustified accusation, which would receive a short answer if it were just a question because, for two thousand years, God has not tolerated evil in any of his appearances! The Savior Himself came for the sick and sinners, not for the righteous and the healthy. The resurrection of the Savior proved that He overcame death in all its forms: poverty, injustice, sickness, suffering, passions. However, the Coronavirus pandemic raises many medical, religious, and social questions about the global effects of this pandemic, which has led to social and economic instability in many parts of the world, xenophobia, and racism against people of Chinese descent, the online spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories. In managing the current Covid-19 epidemic, people's faith and unbelief have become questionable.
