I was watching Larry King and he ‘interviewed’ a christian that was rescued from the Haiti earthquake, Larry asked the man what saved him and the christian man said ‘god’ saved me…this is very interesting, because I don’t remember seeing any pictures of god with a shovel working with the rescue teams, I would of thought the obvious answer would of been ‘the search and rescue teams saved me’.
Anyway, the question is, why do christians claim ‘god’ helps them when something ‘good’ happens after a catastrophe but that he is unable to intervene and actually stop the catastrophe from happening in the first place?
John H- please stop pulling percentages out of your ar$e. Rescue teams from Germany and England and China and many other countries, do not contain 90% theists.

Edit:
I spend .00 at "China Fun" on vegetable fried rice easily! So donating .00 to help those in need is cake for me! ![]()
Unless you have a "legit" website, I’m not texting nor do I vouch for "Haiti" 90999. You need to post a "legit" website! Sorry but I just don’t trust random numbers. Come legit or don’t come at all!
http://www.ksee24.com/news/local/81371092.html Ok, I see where you’re getting your information from. I’m sorry for coming off rude like. I owe you an apology. ( ^ _ ^ ) There happen to be people who use catastrophic events such as this for their own personal gain. I also did "Haiti" 90999 just a few seconds ago and received a confirmation text. Thanks for answer S.J. ![]()
I checked it out EeeBee and it’s legit. I really hope that all the money goes to helping the people of Haiti. I really do.

Why all of a Sudden We Are Having So Many Devastating Earthquakes?
Earthquakes are a part of Earth’s natural growth, but why are we having so many of them in such rapid succession? It was the the big one off the coast of Asia that set off the largest Tsunami in human history, the one in China, and now the huge one in Haiti. What is going on here with Mother Earth?
Why are conservatives questioning Obama’s authority to send earthquake disaster relief to Haiti?
where was the GOP outrage when GWB sent tsunami relief?….or when GWB send AIDS relief to africa?…or when GWB sent earthquake relief to china and india?
republicans are once again demonstrating the hypocrisy of the phrase ‘compassionate conservatism’.
and u wonder why McCain only got 3% of the black vote in 2008.
Why do so many Earthquakes seem to strike China more than any other nation?
Is it based solely on the tectonic plates and faults? Why?
Yes, China does seem to bear more destruction.
Can the earthquakes in China,trigger other earthquakes in the world?
Could the Earth quake activity in China trigger seismic activity in let’s say…California?
I’m thinking that if the plates are shifting in one part of the world it could cause a domino effect in other.
Any "reality" to this theory?
Is the Chinese dictatorship stupid? Is it time to boycott over censorship?
China has again lied and is trying to censor the media’s access to the internet. It is also spying on hotel guests in an attempt to crush truth. China is loking increasingly paranoid and desperate. Are we seeing the last days of this violent brutal dictatorship? I just read of a man jailed for posting pictures of schools destroyed in the earthquake. Is it time to boycott this disgusting games?
Aid to the US for Hurricane Gustav??
I’m just curious how many countries will be sending "foreign aid" to help the victims of hurricane Gustav? Since the United States of America is always the first to send supplies and relief to any country that has a major natural disaster (China, Myrnamar, Indonesia, Georgia) would it not be a great switch to see other countries "aid" the USA?
Will a natural disaster wipe out the human race?
for example another ice age?
or maybe a "heat" age?
china had too many people there and was putting a strain on the earth, and, some say, thats why the natural disaster occured (earthquake and stuff).
? x
Is that a longstanding geological pattern? Is China an earthquake zone?
It seems that they get smacked with enormous floods and earthquakes quite frequently…a couple of times a year it seems.
Do buildings take a while to fall down during an earthquake, or do they immediately crumble?
I know that China was hit by a terrible earthquake recently. I live in a country very near it, and I’m hearing rumors that we might get one just as strong as what hit China. I live in an apartment on the 9th floor of a 15-20 year old building. Should I have any reason to worry?
Say it’s about, 8?
Earthquakes can happen anywhere, right? D:
in all the pictures of the china quake rescuers, why are they wearing masks? do rescuers have to wear those after an earthquake in the US if they have to dig, rescue, etc.?
Do you think technology has come far enough to be able to create or control ‘natural’ disasters?
Hurricanes, tornadoes, cyclones, earthquakes, etc??

Why do earthquakes happen in certain areas ?
I know what causes earthquakes, which are the movements of platelets beneath the earths surface. However why is it that in places like CA, or overseas in places like China earthquakes happen more frequently?
Are seismographs still being used today?
I need it for my China homework

What is up with all the seismic activity lately, volcanoes, earthquakes, etc?
Lately theres been a lot going on. That Chatien Chile Volcano Erupted, then Fears of Yellowstone erupting, then That Volcano in Tonga off Australian Coast, then Mount Redoubt. I live in Utah and just last week we had a Magnitude 3.3 Earthquake, Ive lived here my whole life and have never felt a quake until now. Then China Earthquakes. What the heck is goin on.
What is the source of the US power supply?
I live in Japan and recently an earthquake caused a big problem at a nuclear power plant, a major source of Japanese power. I've also been to China recently to see the 3 Gorges Dam project, which supplies most of the power to the surrounding area. It made me wonder where we get most of our power in the states. I was quick to condemn the nuclear power plant BUT not having any idea where the power comes from when I flip on a light, or use my computer, or play games, I thought I should research the issue before I stood on my soap box! And I'm having trouble finding anything comprehensive about the states and power on the internet.
Does anyone know, or could you direct me to someplace where I could find out more about this? Thanks!
Have you taken notice of how many earthquakes have happened since Tsunami? What does this mean?
It seems that there have been a multitude of earthquakes lately since the Tsunami. Scientists say that a huge one should happen soon near Nevada as the pressure is building up. Now there's a big one in China along with others in the news in the past year or so. Do you think there has been a lot more than average and what does this mean?
I am wondering if the number of recent earthquakes is indicating some huge plate shift where maybe a new continent will be formed or something really huge like that.
What are your feelings about the earthquake that just hit china?
This morning an earthquake hit china. Up to now 9,000 people have died. As i viewed pictures i was completely speechless…
2 years ago it was the Tsunami. Last December it was a cyclone in Bangladesh. And now a cyclone in Myanmar and an earthquake on China. Why on Asia all the time. We should be lucky we live in U.S that we don't have that much natural disaster.
How can an earthquake be classified as an after shock when it happens more than 20 days later???
I just read that China had another "after shock" 5.3. How can be an after shock? Isn't a new earthquake??
