Not A Peep
One would think to prevent the amount of people that died in Asia at the end of 2004, from the earthquake and the Tsunami that it cause, some holy men would have been told by their God what was about to happen. For only a God could have moved 600 square mile of rock up 6 feet. To moved such a large section of land and the water that is on that land is no small feat. Only a very powerful God could do that. It is not a snap decision, since a God would know the after effects that would happen to everything else after the raised of the sea floor.
Does not God Almighty of the Muslim faith speak directly to his Clerics. Did Allah not warn them again on Friday that Allah needed to shift some rock to start a new mountain range. It might be that it was decided among the Clerics that while a few Muslims would die. More infidels would. Since this event would part of the Jihad against infidels them it would be proper. That all Muslims of the faith would get 72 virgins when they went to heaven
Or maybe not.
Did not God tell the Pope of Rome and his Bishops that the event would occur. In the last 6000 years has not the Jewish, then the Christian God talk to his chosen preachers. Noah was told of the great flood and was save from certain death. Did not God also consider that the Pope was a chosen one. Why did not the Pope say something during the Christmas service? Maybe the Pope did not approved of Christians going on vacation to Asia? Within the Catholic church good Christians who die in the name of the Church go to heaven, bad people go to Hell. I would say that those who died in the eyes of the Pope, since they were not good Catholics must have all been sent to Hell, with the curse of the Pope of the Catholic faith. Or maybe not.
Those of the Hindu and Buddhist faith did not get the word ahead of time. Even after the earthquake that hit Indonesian should not the priests of those faiths heard the cry of their God to run. Should not the people been warn ahead of time to flee the islands that were in the path of the Tsunami.
It could be that their Gods are not so powerful after all. It does not seem that with all the praying that has been done before December 26 had little effect on what happen on the 26.
Could it be that the people who worship, have given their selective people God like qualities while they are just humans. Jesus went from a roaming preacher without a temple to a son of a God. Then a God himself. The Prophet Mohammad was given God like power to go to heaven and return. Buddha who was very well educated went from a philosopher to a God like person.
Hindus have many Gods and only one really powerful God, yet the silent of the up coming natural disaster was missing.
Maybe Mother is right, that people want to believe in the belief that if they worship something that is not there it must be more powerful then if you can see it. That if you pray enough it will come true. If you repeat the right words in the right order then God will grant you your prayer.
