After the typhoon had passed they went outside and saw that their two story home was the only house still standing in their neighborhood. Right. And in the US in 1900 Issac Cline wrongly predicted the storm would be minor, he gathered in his house with family and others and they all prayed too. Most died, including his wife.	pctek (84)

They refused to go to an evacuation center, which turned out to be the right decision. The evacuation center that they would have been assigned to suffered much damage and apparently all who we...re in it died in the flooding due to the huge storm surge. The family of 15 had prepared enough food, water and other supplies in advance of the storm to get them through a week, and went up to the second floor of their home as the storm approached. They also took in 7 of their neighbors who needed shelter. As the typhoon approached, they prayed fervently for God's protection. As the storm came through they continued to pray and sing songs of praise and worship to God. After the typhoon had passed they went outside and saw that their two story home was the only house still standing in their neighborhood. As a further testimony to God's protection, they realized that not only was their home still standing, but only one small section of their roof was damaged in spite of the ferocious winds that were blowing through the storm. They all gave thanks to God for His protection in their time of need. What a lot of bullshit! Who the hell do they think caused the storm in the first place? I am still waiting for for a statement from the Pope. To hell with the rebuild, they need help NOW.	mzee (3324)

1359446	2013-11-12 18:57:00	You have to ask the question, if God is going to help putting things right, why did he put things wrong in the first place?	Cicero (40)

To hell with the rebuild, they need help NOW. I see that the Catholic Church has give $116,000 in aid and the Chines gov only $100,000. The yanks have given $20Mil and have troops and aid on the ground.	paulw (1826)

So -- the little country of New Zealand has managed $150,000 but the Vatican can only manage a paltry $116,000! Says it all, they couldn't give a stuff for their followers. As for China, if the USA paid back the money they have borrowed from China they could probably afford more. Anyway, China has its fair share of disasters. As for the Yanks, Uncle Sam can afford to be benevolent with borrowed money. They have always had troops there since WW2. Funny thing is that the US can not afford to look after its own.	mzee (3324)
1359451	2013-11-12 21:03:00	I could have swown New Zealand was a larger country than the Vatican.	the_bogan (9949)
1359452	2013-11-12 22:26:00	One theory as to why God inflicts suffering is to test the Faith of his followers. God gave Free Will to test the followers, of course he already knows what they will do but they need to be tested so they can find out themselves.	zqwerty (97)
