Toology Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 In the religious world, its not uncommon to explain catastrophies by citing an "unclean" or "sinful" lifestyle. Judaism - When the Persians sacked the Holy temple and displaced the Jews to Babylon, they cited that they had done something wrong in God's eyes. Christianity - The arrival of the plague, and more recently September 11th. SOME Christian leaders felt it was a wake-up call for America. I strongly disagree with that as do others as well. Hinduism - The untouchables. These people are the lowest class in India. Followers of this religion cite that past wrong-doings have resulted in the reincarnation of a peasant and thus these people are not to be helped. I don't agree with some of these sentiments but keep in mind that diverse groups of people do hold these beliefs, not just followers of the Islamic religion. Let's try to be more tolerant in the future shall we?

U2K Tha Greate$t Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 The only reason earthquake happens is a sign of the this world ending. Earthquakes has been happening all across the world, it has nothing to do with GOD, Because GOD made it real clear he will puinsh the wicked , in his time, not anytime. So the saudi professor needs to shut up, homeboy dont even know what he talking about.

islanq Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I don't know about their god, but my god loves his children no matter what. Even if we do things the are against his will he still loves you. Saying that a devine creator would kill his people because of their deeds is really wrong. The only case which I have seen this is in the Sadam and Gamora story.

"6:7 And the LORD said, I will destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth; both man, and beast, and the creeping thing, and the fowls of the air; for it repenteth me that I have made them." "6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die." read up on your religion.
