hey christians, instead of talking about how pissed god is and how it's the endtimes and whatever to gain converts, how about doing the sort of things jesus would do and find a way to help?
ok, its been around 2 weeks since the tsunami, and not once have I heard any christian say that the tsunami was God's direct punishment. And how would saying that your God is an angry god who kills children help you gain converts? Oh ya, and we have found a way to help. My church (and probably many others) is collecting money to give to the Red Cross for tsunami aid.
if we're talking the god of the bible, this is a god who destroyed all but a boatful of earth's inhabitants in a single day. and tsunamis are all his wrath can muster?
OK, when God is in the mood for some smiting, it's not like he is FORCED to be super-freakin-hardcore about it. Even Al McInnis takes wrist-shots sometimes (Al McInnis is the NHL player with the hardest slap-shot).
Not everything bad that happens in the world is directly from God's wrath. The earth's plates shift, sometimes under water. Shit happens.
