Was God in this disaster? (page 4)

First of all, I never said these people "deserved" to die

Doesn't every living thing eventually deserve to die?

Sort of talking out of both sides of your mouth, aren't you?

I believe no living thing 'deserves' death (well okay maybe cockroaches). I cannot, and will not, subscribe to a belief system that demands I fall in step with your line of thinking. I was a Witness for 18 years, and that's more than enough of an angry, vengeful god who kills in the name of love. If you do, I feel sorry for you but hey whatever chief.

could really care less what goes on on this web site... Hey webmaster.... Ban me please... Just remember you selfish ones out there.... Love conquers all... I love every single one of you.

Kind of all over the map, aren't you? 'I don't care about you but I love you'.

Ban you? Why? I see no reason, so long as you post according to the guidelines of this board you will not be banned. Disagreement does not mean banishment.

JR Bob Dobbs:

I'm somewhat reluctant to reply to you as I have a feeling you may be posting for the express purpose of upsetting people and starting a long flame thread. I've seen trolls before and you look like one but for now, you'll get the benefit of the doubt.

First of all, I never said these people "deserved" to die...

Perhaps not, but you did say:

And, we should be rejoicing if we really believe in God Almighty since all of these dead are hopefully in his memory. If they were to grow up to be evil, they are spared from the destruction they would receive later anyway... Wake up people...

This is the kind of twisted attitude that separates cult members from normal people. You are actually rejoicing at the deaths of 120,000 people. I find that sickening.

Not that it matters but I have family over there. Some of them died.

I hope to god that's some sort of sick joke by a stupid teenager with too much time on his hands. Whatever about not being able to relate to the deaths of thousands of strangers, anybody who would come here after losing family members and tell us to rejoice in their deaths is seriously warped. Someone who would joke about it is even worse. So which type of scumbag are you, JR?

bikerchic--- I think all people raise their children with some sort of regulations that encourage good behaviour and discoourage bad behaviour . From what I read it's the way God deals with people . You seem to only see the tragedy involving those God considers his enemies and don't look at the blessings involved with people he considers friends . Tho people die they always have a hope of living in paradise when the resurrection takes place . The plan for this planet to begin with was for God to rule all the world not for man . I think it obvious the corruption involved with man made government is not going to create some sort of utopian global society where people can live in peace and find happiness or security . Those are 3 things that God promises when he takes the wheel . The only thing that jesus God ever asked was that we all love each other and live in peace during our time spent in this chaotic world we live in . People do have free will and are prone to selfishness and greed that always seems to cause injury to others but eventually those influences will have no effect on the masses of civilization. IMO

In response to the original question.....Was God in this disaster?

IMPO, no. It is the cycle of the earth. A natural disaster, that the earth has been spewing since its exsistence. Along with tornados, volcanos, floods, etc.

I don't think God has anything to do with what goes on here.

I often wonder why so many people automatically look to blame God for such an action as this. No one even dares think that these people chose to live in the area of the world that they did. An area ALREADY known for this type of seismic activity. For instance, many people move to Florida every day. Florida is known for catastropic winds that destroy dwellings and other structures. Yet people still arrogantly move here for the beaches, sun, and various other attractions. It does not mean that it is a safe area. Jehovah God tried to direct his people to the Promised Land. Not many hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, mudslides, tornadoes, or volcanoes erupt in that area. Please don't look to blame the one who brought you life for something like this. If anything he should be able to blame us for most of our stupid mistakes throughout history... Anybody remember when the evil American empire murdered more than half a million people with two radioactive nuclear weapons of mass destruction? Hiroshima and Nagasaki come to mind. There is absolutely no excuse for that kind of death that was both unwarranted and undeserved. And if anyone tries to say that it was a return for the bombing of Pearl Harbor and say that it was justified is sick. Pearl Harbor was just a military base too close to Japan... That is why Japan felt threatened and bombed it.. What does the evil American empire do in return? Murder civilians in citys with atomic weapons... Sick.... really sick.. And, we should be rejoicing if we really believe in God Almighty since all of these dead are hopefully in his memory. If they were to grow up to be evil, they are spared from the destruction they would receive later anyway... Wake up people...

yikes. i honestly don't know whether to laugh or throw up... by the way, "seismic" relates to ground movement, i.e. earthquakes, and not floods... are you for real?

Actually I don't think God is involved with anything or anyone here on this earth, if you do please show me the evidence. Clear concrete evidence. You know like the kind of evidence you would show your dear lovely child if they asked you for help or guidance, clear, concrete precise. I don't see that happening, I don't see God clearly instructing his children in the way they should go.

If the plan for this planet to begin with was for God to rule all the world and not man, then why isn't he ruling it? And don't give me that malarkey about the serpent and Eve. Why isn't God at the helm?

Respectfully,

I haven't read any posts other than the first and second, so my comment is based on nothing more than that.

The original article seems to say it quite profoundly. Disasters just are. Disasters can move us to love more greatly by showing compassion for the victims or they can move us to show more hate by not doing the same thing. IMO, not showing love shows means that we show hate. I know that is somewhat simplistic but it seems true.

I feel much sorrow for the people who have suffered through this tragedy, but I also thank "God" for not having to go through it myself, directly. The evidence of the very kind people who have helped and are helping out seem to prove that we are all connected in spirit.

heathen,

You seem to only see the tragedy involving those God considers his enemies and don't look at the blessings involved with people he considers friends . Tho people die they always have a hope of living in paradise when the resurrection takes place .

Yikes, buddy, I'm not sure if you are aware of how creepy that sounds. Did the 120,000 people that died in that tragedy all become enemies of God? Or is it your belief that they will be resurrected anyway that makes it not a big deal?

Ever seen a resurrection yet?

I would personally go by what seems to be more likely true than promises that have no evidence of reality.
