    Earthquakes are cause by either satan or the world's unrighteousness or unrighteous ways or the world's condition.

    Someone skipped school in Science 101 a bit too much.

    Ray, I agree.

    contribute to a benevolent act (help those in need).

    sit back, quote endless scriptures while innocent people perish.

    I choose option number 1.

    Does this mean I can cause earthquakes by becoming increasingly unrighteous? The idea of sinning for a few consecutive weeks while directing earthquakes at my enemies really appeals to me. Just think of the possibilities!

    JT,

    Well, if the intellectuals here want to blame God's apathy for allowing earthquakes as the title of this thread implies, why can't the less educated blame Satan or the world's unrighteousness for causing them?

    sorry but I ain't no intellectual, i was just having a conversation with a Muslim guy on the earthquake and asked him a couple of questions and he gave the same answer as a christian oftentimes gives, in fact it was almost TEXT BOOK-

    why can't the less educated blame Satan or the world's unrighteousness for causing them?

    This is an interesting comment or angle for if San or the worlds' unrighteouness caused them, it still doesn't address the original question raised, "Why God didn't stop the earthquake let';s say for the sake of argument that you are correct in blaming satan,, then does that mean that satan has done something that God can't correct or stop- you see let me break it down for you anytime someone is the "ONLY ONE" who can stop or do something and doesn't then that one can't walk away and claim that their hands are clean for a biblical example look at when jesus was reported to be turned over to the Jew by Pontitus he tried to wash his hands in fact, yet he truly was the only one as ruler who could have stopped the actually jews from killing jesus- now according to most theology it is ONLY GOD who can do all things so if he choses not to do anything and he is the ONLY ONE WHO CAN - then tell us how does he wash his hands it is due to this catch 22 that has caused many folks to examine the concept of god- you can't have it both ways

    I have always found it interesting to listen to a believer go into great detail about how they prayed and god answered their prayers for a job at Safeway, or to successfully have a Gall Stone removed, etc,

    Same here JT... but I have never heard an explanation that seemed reasonable.

    JT, could you please redo the title? It's 28000 now, and climbing. Iranian authorities expect the final body count to be up to twice that figure.

    How can man be more merciful than God? Men, women and children buried while asleep. Has anyone seen Iranian women in mourning? If there's a God, then we 're just on our own.

    JT,

    I got a PM back from U2K. Any comment by me would probably come out looking like a personal attack on the reality challenged, so I'm going to try and be quiet around him. The kid is as sharp as a bowling ball and damn proud of it.

    He's gonn'a learn us about jesus whether we like it or not.

    I warned him, what else can I do?

    Have fun.

    Dave,

    *in a helpful tone* "Pray he finds a whetting stone?"

    growed up,

    I just duct taped my little fingers closed so I won't talk about this kid.

    The mods like to edit my posts a little too much (I don't blame them) and I would have to agree with them on what I'd say about this kid.

    The board says "all welcome" there isn't a rule whether you bring a brain along with you or not.

    I'm going to bed.

    Dave
