Haiti Earthquake?

[RICHARD]

Not trying to sensationalize things about the quake-I can't help but think about THEIR health care system, before and today. Ouru HC system, in the same situation is just as useless.

How lucky we are to have such a vast wealth of resources to be able to help out. No "Brownie" or "the prez don't like black people" comments, please?

Religion?

We have had threads about good and evil, religion and such....

I say, "what kind of god would visit upon such poor people, such pain?"

It's bigger than us all, but just small enough to affect everyone.

According to Pat Robertson, it's all due to Haiti's pact to the Devil.

[May he rot in hell for that comment. What a horrible, crazy, evil, evil comment. A man of God, NO NO NO. He is a crazy and anyone who follows him needs to open their eyes WIDE and really listen to what this a=hole just said, what these words really mean.
Innocent people, innocent children, animals are suffering Pat Roberston I could just choke the life out of you myself. How dare you? Freaking monster.

The devil misrepresented hisself in that one!

It was Chris Columbus that started the whole mess.

He deserves to be tarred and feathered - with a sock stuffed in his mouth!

I am confident that he will have to answer to The Boss for his actions and statements.


Anyway, I got an email from my church today, and they had 6 teams on the ground in Haiti before the quake, and we will be taking a special offering to help rescue and recovery efforts.

[moosmom]

Pat Robertson is on crack. HE should go there and help out. Then he'll get a real taste of reality. Jerk!!

I just got word that my friend Father Rick is okay and working on the rescue effort.

Just one slightly off topic comment:

One of the ladies on The View this a.m. made an interesting statement regarding PR. Not her exact words, but close to it ~~~~~ This man knows and talks so much about the Devil - maybe it's he who is the Devil.

[Catty1]

Maybe takes one to know one, huh?

The Canadian government has announced it will match individual Canadian's donations dollar for dollar. Of course, the gov't has their own teams independent of this.

I cant stand that man Pat R.. He is a joke.. That is as I always say is What Comes Around Will Go Around.. Just what Candace said It Takes a Devil to know One..

I think Robertson has been dotty for years now.

You know, Richard, I often wonder if I have a different version of the Bible than others do. In mine, Jesus, was the first in line to heal or help someone who was hurting. He didn't turn his back on anyone.

When asked what the greatest commandment was he said to love God with all your heart and love your brother as yourself. Not just love people you like or the ones who are tall or short or green or rich. Just love all of them. He said if you do that, all the other commandments will fall into place.

I tried watching the coverage but found it too much. Our Governor General is from Haiti and she had to excuse herself from speaking during the coverage as she started crying and couldn't go on...that's when I stopped watching, just too sad.

I do understand. I went Catholic school-the one with the nuns from BOSTON, and I have always wondered about his putting a finger down anywhere on the planet and having his way with us at times?

Is it too naive to believe my god doesn't do earthquakes and stuff like this?

To me?
It's more like a problem with mother nature and god steps in afterwards to help us clean up the mess?

I am in no way trying to discredit any god, religion or belief that anyone practices.

I just think of god as being as benevolent as you have described, I just don't see him doing earthquakes or tsunamis to people.

It's not his style?

------------

As I get older, I don't judge people by their god, It's far more interesting to know they believe.

Text Yele to 501501 for a $5 donation to help Haiti through Wyclef's org or HAITI to 90999 to donate $10 through the RedCross.

This is a very tragic thing, most of my family lives in the D.R. and they even felt the impact. Haiti had so little to begin with, now they probably have not much left.

One of my friend's grandma died and her cousin is the hospital...please send more prayers for my friend!
