well, according to christians .. its god's will.

i dont think I'll be finding jesus anytime soon.

I had thought about bringing the old "how can a just God let this happen" into it , but figured it would open a whole different can of worms.


hmmmm....looks like its out there now.

It all happens for a reason, just be thankful your not destitue like these poor people.

Yeah this really sucks. There is this one video they kept showing on CNN of people trying to grab onto something and being literally washed away with the current...I mean it looks as if the people are going to die. The footage was quite disturbing. Hoping they were able to get out.

its very sad.... but like fairy said, everything happens for a reason

just a part of life.. if theyre not washed away by a tsunami, killed by earthquakes, their starving, dieing of aids.. etc etc..

Your god is dead
and no one cares
if there is a hell
I'll see you there


-Trent Reznor

That's kinda innapropriote, man...

That a bunch of pilgrims bathing in the sea were killed kind of shows up ALL the religious/God stuff for what it is.

Anyway.....It's a truly terrible event and the scale is quite frankly tragedy off the scale.
But it's Mother Earth. It does what it does.
It was throwing up all kinds of things that we call 'natural disasters' millions of years before we were around to be affected by them.
People live on coastal areas, on tiny islands 3 foot above sea level and so on....
And as such things like this will happen because it's what the Earth does. It always has and it always will.
And in the end one of the things it does will hurt us.

It's how this World works. It's a massive tragedy, but it's the price we pay the living on Earth in general and for living in certain areas of it.

Don't forget you Americans...one day the San Francisco earthquake to end all earthquakes will happen.
We know, we live with such things, we make the choice.
It's what happens when Man lives in all areas of the World.

There's no one to be angry at (unless you beleive in a God....you can be angry at one of them) it's just they way our Planet is.

Not my intention.I just find it stupid anyone could claim the deaths of over 26,000 is thier gods "will".

I dont understand why they have to continue showing video of dead bodies and people being washed away on the news.

Its just like 9/11 when they had all the pictures of people jumping.


This is a very bad timne for them. My family is donating some money...every little bit helps I suppose.
