Fukushima. Let me tell you, that was a scary time. All of us (Jdubs and worldlies alike) thought we were going to get radiated from the plants. It was not god, but the heroic efforts of men that saved us. Many went in to keep cooling down the fuel rods knowing that they had a slow, miserable death awaiting them after that.
You can blame men for positioning those plants on the seacoast. But you can't blame men for a tsunami that came and killed indiscriminately. If God had somehow intervened, imagine how many secularists would have put faith in him! Sadly, he doesn't. So it should be no surprise that Japanese people don't have the time of day for building their faith in the invisible, all powerful, inactive apathetic god - a god who tries to prove a point(that we need him) by being invisible and inaccessible during our time of need.
