Christian Science definitely teaches that God is Love, and that Love, God, has never created, sent, or condoned disaster, affliction, or distress of any kind. Such occurrences are the opposite of love.

The revered Discoverer and Founder of Christian Science, Mary Baker Eddy, has written fully and distinctly on the question of the world's calamities. The following extracts from her book "Miscellaneous Writings" (pp. 257, 258), convey the Christian Science teaching on this point very clearly: "Law is either a moral or an immoral force. The law of God is the law of Spirit, a moral and spiritual force of immortal and divine Mind. The so-called law of matter is an immoral force of erring mortal mind, aliasthe minds of mortals. This so-called force, or law, at work in nature as a power, prohibition, or license, is cruel and merciless. It punishes the innocent, and repays our best deeds with sacrifice and suffering." Farther on we read, "Our great Ensample, Jesus of Nazareth, met and abolished this unrelenting false claim of matter with the righteous scorn and power of Spirit."
