Gilliver's Travels said:Let's look at his 2005 track record: --
Asian Tsunami -- 300,000 dead
Hurricane Katrina -- 900 dead
Pakistan earthquake - 40,000 dead
According to insurance companies, these are all classed as Acts of God...
After the Hurricane Katrina disaster, many survivors in New Orleans were praising the Lord for having saved them.
Villagers triumphantly rescuing a child from the Pakistani earthquake could be heard chanting "God is great".
If these poor, deluded people believe that God saved them, you wonder who they believe was responsible for killing all their friends and relations.
God is great? God is cruel? God is incompetent?
Or God is non-existent?
You decide.
Or is the Earth still forming and moving and have we as humans built our settlements on places we shouldn't have, ie San Andreas fault line, New Orleans below sea level, cities in areas that are receptive to Hurricanes, ie Central and Southern United States?
I am not sure God said to anyone where we should build our houses.
Great catastrophies have happened throughout the whole of our stay on this earth, from the great floods in biblical times, plagues, volcanic eruptions and even metorites hitting the earth causing the extinction of the dinosaurs. Ice ages, the spread of deserts due to soil erosion., World wars...are you suggesting that this is all God's fault?
