Following Hurricane Katrina in 2005, there became a strong concern in this country
about our ability to cope with natural disasters. Due to the expensive cost of
acquiring detailed data about the hazard before, during and after the event, many
agencies are putting systems forth to allow citizens affected by the events to
contribute details about their surroundings. This may be in the form of data sent
over a mobile phone, or Internet connection to a PC. Please weigh in your thoughts
about using this system as a method of coping with natural disasters by taking this
brief survey.

I look up earthquakes on a daily basis as a hobby. I google, "DID YOU FEEL IT" in the search area and it shows all the latest earthquakes. I have been noticing that Samoa keeps getting hit with large earthquakes but they are not reporting this on the news where I am. What is really going on?

allah just earthquaked Indonesia again knocking down many buildings, including mosques. He keeps on terrorizing the most populous Islamic country in the world. Seriously, I have never seen a country so frequently rocked by earthquakes as Islamic Indonesia. It’s incredible.

Here’s some pictures of allah-earthquaked-mosques. Guess allah doesnt care much for mosques.

PS – Go ahead, be incredibly stupid (islamic) and deny allah earthquakes mosques. Go ahead, I expect nothing less than total delusion from muslims. Complete dishonesty is what Islam is all about.
SATARA: allah is angry at little kids? He hated everyone in the community? How is that even possible? He either is mad at them all or is punishing the innocent unjustly. Which is it?
THINK TANKED: I asked about why allah earthquakes mosques, not why he creates/allows so much death and pain. In other words, he doesnt have to earthquake the mosque, right? He’s behind everything and nothing happens without his consent. So why does he earthquake mosques? He doesnt have to and yet he does.
Man of all Madness: WW1 and 2? What are you talking about? I am asking why he continues to earthquakes mosques. No one can deny he is picking on the most populous islamic country in the world. He is rocking them every 6 months or so now for the past 5 years straight! Come on! Who doesnt know this?
THINK TANKED 2: What? So allah only targets people for destruction who live in faultline / earthquake prone areas? Thats crazy!!! Seismologists can show you areas that have high likelyhood of earthquakes and those that have almost none.

Some areas are safer to live than others. If you live away from the coastline in an area that has no real threat of earthquake, your pretty safe from allah’s little temper tantrums. Guess you didnt think this through.
NINJA: You never answered the question. I asked why allah earthquakes so many mosques. Indonesia was a side note. Muslims are always quick to find allahs hand in every meaningless coincidence and you will not swear to allah otherwise.

Indonesia is the most populous islamic country in the world and I am suppose to ignore this coincidence? Allah blasts them constantly. Do you even believe in allah? You refer to nature as if its detached from allah. Of course it is, and allah is a fiction but YOU are the muslim, not me. If you really believe in this ridiculous religion, why do you pretend like allah isnt in control? If he is in control, why does he earthquake sooo many mosques and blast Indonesia mercilessly. I loathe Islam and even I feel sorry for them.
THINK TANK 2: I presume no such thing…where do you get that? YOU presume allah controls everything…do you not? So, if allah controls everything, why does he blast the most populous islamic country in the world over and over and over. He could blast them in equal proportions to the rest of the earthquake prone areas of the globe but he choses to blast this islamic country that has only existed for a short time
almost the moment it became islamic.

You gotta admitt, mosques arent very special to allah cause he has no problem knocking them down like everything else.
SHE SAID: We agree. Muslims arent special to allah at all. They are DEFINETLY NOT immune. Agreed.

Of course its even worse than indifference isnt it? If allah exists, and everything is controlled by allah, then given those premises we can make a very strong case that allah hates muslims more than anyone else. Not only are muslims and mosques not immune, but they are more often targeted. Indonesia is constantly blasted. Theres no other country that compares. Ohhh…and guess what…ITS THE MOST POPULOUS ISLAMIC COUNTRY IN THE WORLD!
SHE SAID 2: Dishonesty is the hallmark of being islamic. Did you not paste a link of an allah-spared mosque? You contradict yourself. Either allah does show favor or he doesnt. You take both sides. I cant tell if you are of the brainless dim-wits that see allahs hand in everything or one of the cowardly agnosticish muslims who knows that there is absolutely no trace of an allah in nature but is to afraid to get off the religious Kool-Aid. Which is it? Is there a disorder here I need to know about?

I have scientific proof that 2012 is bound NOT to happen. I just want to hear your thoughts, and share mine, too. Evidence: you would be able to see Planet X coming by now in the night sky if it were that close to Earth (or if it even exists); the possibility of Planet X actually striking Earth is very slim; Polar Shifts are just a theory, and would otherwise take 5,000 years to complete; the Galactic Alignment had, supposedly, already happened or is going to happen later on, but Sag. A (center of the galaxy) would need to be thousands of light-years closer to Earth to have any effect AT ALL; human disasters are predictable, but astronomical and natural disasters such as tsunamis, earthquakes, etc. are completely unpredictable; the Mayans started all of this, and even THEY don’t think 2012 is a disaster but a celebration for a new tomorrow!

These are my accurate facts about 2012, now tell me what you think!

I have a cousin living there and it makes me nervous. I get worried about him.

San Andreas Fault is so dangerous and Cali is way overdue for an earthquake.

I am in NYC and we don’t get earthquakes here. I have been in an earthquake once in my life and this was in Azerbaijan. (google it)

Aren’t you guys afraid? How can you live in Cali?

Religions are based upon belief systems of our ancestors who had no scientific understanding of natural phenomenon & thus attributed them to gods. But now , when we know , it is better to stick to science as it is based upon truths found by experimentation. see more below :

http://originofmanandhisreligion.blogspot.com/

I will reproduce from the blog :

(1) MANKIND LIVED NEAR VOLCANOES IN AFRICA

It is known scientifically from genetic research that mankind (homosepians) originated from a very few (about 1000) people in AFRICA .

This means that our ancestors are from Africa. And we all belong to one race/species. Genetically we are all equal.

One of the oldest human fossils ( about 1 million year old) were found in northern Ethiopia near active volcanoes ( the fossil is named as Lucy). This place is called "Danakil depression". Here we have volcanoes in the shape of large lava pools. (See it in google earth).

Just imagine the life of man living near volcanoes. Volcanoes mean fire , earthquakes , thunder , rain , lightening & lava flow all happening simultaneously . The lava of volcanoes probably killed many primitive humans and animals living nearby. The primitive man with primitive thinking might have imagined the natural calamities as the wrath of spirits. It is possible that mankind started worshiping the fire god (actually volcanoes). And, in order to make them calm , he might have thought that the gods/spirits wanted killings of humans & animals. And he started sacrificing animals in fire as a ritual , as a pre-emptive measure, in order to please the fire god as a matter of reverse logic to keep the imaginary gods satisfied and not to create any further trouble.

More below :
(2) Religion WAS BORN IN Africa BUT MIGRATED TO ENTIRE WORLD AS FIRE WORSHIP

And it is estimated that mankind lived in Africa for about a million years and only in last 80000 years he has moved out of Africa and colonized the earth. So the rituals & traditions of primitive mankind were carried away with him too. From Africa, mankind spread to Egypt , Israel, Europe , Iran, India, Indonesia, fareast etc. We see many of these same rituals of pleasing gods in many religions such as old Egyptian religion, Judaism(of Israel), Parsi (Zoroastrianism) religion of Iran, old religion of Greeks and Hinduism of India.

Bibile (Old testament) says that the Jews used to worship in their temple with fire and many animals & birds used to be sacrificed to please their God (Yahweh).

more below :
The Parsis (Zoroastrians) have fire temple where they worship their God with Fire. The Parsi religion of Iran (Zoroastrianism) was subdued , probably they were converted to Islam later. In islam sacrifice of animals is continued even today (on bakrid) to please their God (Allah).

In old Hinduism (vedic times prior to Buddha) , all the rituals were centered around fire worship called Yagna. In the process of Yagna an alter was built in which wood , incense etc were burnt in clarified butter, chanting of mantras from Vedas was done , every chanting was specific for the purpose for which the yagna was meant for. An intoxicant was also drunk , prepared from ephedra & marijuana , it was called soma. The soma drink is mentioned extensively in Vedas, the earliest scriptures of hindus. In the process of yagna , sacrifice of animals was also done and the meat was used for feasting in olden times.
Please see the blog as it has photographs of the volcanoes near the million year old human fossil found .
Nuge – I appreciate your thoughts . All I am trying to say that (1) human being originated in Africa near volcanoes (2) They had some rituals (fire worship) (3) They migrated to the entire world & their style of worship became the foundation of most old religions.

I am only trying to trace the ORIGIN of Religion & its relevance today.

my home town, is 100 Km away from the center of the earthquake. so many dead, over12000 bodies, still counting, and there are still over 30000 are buried under the ruins. if we can’t get them out within 72 hours, the chance of their survival is very slim. I feel so sad… and angry!! look at those pictures! they are still child!! (picasaweb.google.com/Everselect/ChinaEarthquake)
I understand if we adults may angry you and deserve the punishment, but what did those child do to you! Christians said you have plan for everything, so you planed this? YOU ARE THE BIGGEST EVEIL!!!
yahoo trim the picture URL, look at them, you will feel angry too. Why this has to happen??!!!:
