Default Haiti - Where was God?
Was this a 'test' and all part of the 'plan'? Or does God just like laughing at the misery of humans...

Or is there nothing that watches over the planet...

Human depravity, perversion, materialism & selfishness causes natural disasters. Don't blame God for everything.

I'm sure materialism and selfishness caused plates deep under the earth to slip

The universe is a thought-form projected from the mind of God.

What would you like God to be, a cosmic puppet master?

We live with free will in a cause and effect universe.

Much good will come out of this earthquake in the end that may lead to many times more people having good and happy lives than the ones who died.

if you want to ask God about it then get down on your knees and pray.

Sanctimonious claptrap! Why would a true compassionate 'God' stand by and watch innocents die because of the stupidity of others, if indeed he/she had the power to prevent it? Not much of a God in my opinion! Sounds more like a dictator to me - do things my way - or others will pay the price!

Your idea of what God is belongs to a Larson cartoon.

As i have said, if you do not know that there was a very good reason for it to happen then leave the debate.

Theist's say that it was the devil's doing a lot of the time. Others say that it was God punishing sinners, a bit like Noah's Arc.

I personally believe that God is a load of bollocks.

It was simple plate tectonics. God is love.

But, if you believe that God created the world, then that means he created natural disasters.

If he didn't want natural disasters to occur, he wouldn't have made them possible, would he?

Exactly. Thus meaning that either God killed millions of people just for the **** of it, or that it was just nature doing it's thing and God doesn't exist.

I'm no experts, but the "argument" is that God just made the earth and left it "to it's own accord".. to be honest, because religion is soo loose and doesn't have any solid facts etc. There will always be a reason for anything, just worded in a way to make it sound philosophical and logical..

One thing you can be sure of is that the religious will dream up an explanation probably based on riddles and abiguities as usual......
