My God has given mankind another blessing in this earthquake and nuclear disaster. It is the blessing to let go of our hate for one another, let go of our earthly attachments, and work together to build a better world.
He will keep giving us these blessings until we accept them.

Keep dreaming the United States owns Japan anyways....
The governments are downplaying this and if more
people die because Japan is not evacuated then shame on them..
No one is saying a forced evac... Give the people a way out thats all..
Why keep them on that god forsaken island ridden with quakes and tsunamis..
Japanese women respect American men.....

That's not a God I'd want anywhere near me.
Keep killing people until we all love one another? That's one sick, twisted deity.
If Your / My / Our God doesn't have a reality check he's going to destory the planet and everyone in it then.
This is what I don't understand about people who come on and preach at everything.
Your God is vindicitive, wrathful and full of vengence. He doesn't love us if he's pulling the strings behind the curtain

I'd much rather have a deity that allows US to continue to kill, rape, starve, imprison, torture, defile, ignore, and hate each other over false ideals such as race, culture, social status, education, sex, and material wealth.
Give me that sick sadistic God that will allow us to destroy our own planet, all life that is on it, and our very own souls...

Thats a little judgment festival. So when you look at humans you see us as barbaric failures who have a small chance of redemption IF we suffer enough?

You are ignoring the fact that the game of "competition" humans are playing is the same game that has been going on for billions of years here on Earth, this brutal horrific game you loathe is what is responsible for our very existence, and yes, it will also likely be responsible for our extinction. We are not evil, seeking to become "good." We are. This game is divine, who are you to judge it and find it lacking?

Even an extinction level set of disasters is not out of the realm of "business as usual" for life on Earth.

You think there is something for us to become that is better than what we are now because you reject God/the Divine/Nature/ What is/"Am." You want to move away from "What is" to what "I desire" and you do not see how that rejection of "What is" is the genesis of suffering.

You have all the right concepts coming out of your mouth, apply them more than superficially.

The difference is, one God allows the free will for his creations to do what they want, up to and including killing each other, while the other one is actively killing his creations to teach some obscure "lesson" that the majority isn't even aware of.
Neither of which I find worth listening to, let alone worshipping.

On other boards, I have found a lot of really nasty replies to this whole drama from americans that say "too bad for them, we remember Pearl Harbor and won't be helping" type of stuff.

I certainly wouldn't want some God to smite me with eartquakes and tsunamis to teach me to love, that's for sure.
Is that wrong of me?

Were I God?
In the first place, I wouldn't create a race of people for no other pupose than to have someone to worship me, or "because I can".
Assuming I had, for some Godly reason that I can't comprehend, I'd let them excersise their free will as they saw fit, even if it meant destroying themselves completely.
After all, I could always make more...
