Haiti Earthquake
 
Anybody heard about this?

A 7.0 earthquake struck yesterday some time around 6pm eastern and has caused massive amounts of damage.

Magnitude 7.0 quake struck near Port-au-Prince shortly before 5 p.m. Tuesday

Only insult is added to injury when you take into consideration how poor of a nation Haiti is. Not to mention the widespread diseases that may arise from this catastrophic disaster.

Stuff like this convinces me that there is no sentient, loving supreme being. It's just fucked up, indescribably.

I can agree with that, somewhat. What frustrates me is what Pat Robertson said right after it happened:

BORKED


How to help:

http://www.redcross.org

Wyclef Jean's grassroots.org
Text Yele to 501 501 to donate $5 via your cellphone

The U.S. State Department Operations Center said Americans seeking information about family members in Haiti should call 1-888-407-4747. Due to heavy volume, some callers may receive a recording. "Our embassy is still in the early stages of contacting American citizens through our Warden Network," the U.S. State Department said in a statement. "Communications are very difficult within Haiti at this time."

For those interesting in helping immediately, simply text "HAITI" to "90999" and a donation of $10 will be given automatically to the Red Cross to help with relief efforts, charged to your cell phone bill.

God is currently:
Trying to make people think he doesn't exist. It's funny to him. He's laughing his heavenly ass off.

We human beings, through the history of the world, have protected our continents from cataclysmic earthquakes by murder. In other words, a minor natural disaster avoids a major natural disaster.

How are the deaths of many people (caused by
warring continental habitants) a natural
disaster?

Apparently, killing people prevents people from dying.
