Question with boldness even the existence of a god; because if there be one he must approve of the homage of reason more than that of blindfolded fear.
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Peter Carr, August 10, 1787
I really worry about society and the tendency of people to be sheep sometimes. This tragedy in Japan is a natural disaster, it is not God's will; it was not predicted in the bible SO STOP quoting it. I'm amazed how many people can quote the bible that have never actually read it. I have 7 versions of them! Read that many then come talk to me about the connections in natural disasters. The earth is a living organism, the earth is Billions of years old and is going to always disasters and problems, always! This is a process, this is the natural order of events, not something that was preordained. If you think for one second that we can save the planet you have a larger view of yourself than you should, the earth with shake off humanity when our time is up. Whole civilizations disappear all the time and historically have. It is a great tragedy right now, stop quoting the bible and do something about it! Lets help these people rebuild. Lets do this because it is the right thing to do for humanity NOT the right thing to do to score points in the after life.Over the next few days the numbers of dead and injured will grow, sadly nothing can change that. However we can stop being sheep, stop praying stop comparing and start donating or volunteering! AND PLEASE STOP BEING SHEEP! Any passage from any text, any number and any statistic can be twisted and used for a purpose it was not intended.
