God does not destroy the world, man does. What I find amazing is the fact that few realize that this is all a test of character so-to-speak. people cry when everything is not easy for them and not to their advantage. They cry at the atrocities committed by result of mankind's free-will and then blame it on God. It is time that mankind wakes up and accepts responsibility for the world it has created; a world in which greed, lust, contempt, and unwarranted-judgment seems to prevail over that of compassion and understanding for our fellow human being.edit on 16-3-2011 by nonnez because: (no reason given)
I was just emphasizing on what you said that It is our responsibility for the world, And you are absolutely right!
God made man to be the governer over the earth, For its creatures, Land ,waters, supplies, minerals, Resources, Ect. But man has just been raping and stealing from the earth without conciousness of his actions and in a result the earth is bleeding and cracking open.
Sin was the direct cause of adam and eve that brought the curse of death and sin upon mankind, and brought everything that was so beautiful to be so covered with lusts, greed, hates, violence, Sin, and perverted the world.
Cause of the act of The tree of knowledge of good and evil, Is where humans wanted to become like god and think for thier own selves who they want to serve and to be able to discern what is right from wrong.
That is the exact representation Of free will.
When people cry out against god and despise his holy nature, They dont realise that there is a destroyer who is in CONTROL of this earth and that its his evil wicked nature that he walketh around like a lion devouring anyone he can find.
In psalms 8 v 4-9
4:What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5:For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6"Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7"All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8:The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9:O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
I was really loving your down to earth attitude with the idea about the aircraft carriers and seeing the Japanese as people instead of a "different race" of people. But dude, don't you think there would be a better way to make us understand such a point instead of mass destruction and death? I mean, there are better ways to make us understand things than making us go through extreme fear and distress. Can't it just be that things happen some time? Why does absolutely everything have to be an act of God? Did you ever consider that perhaps God designed the universe where things CAN be random so that maybe it had some observational value and meaning for not just us, but God as well?
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.

Find a booming economy that can absorb 127 million people while not negatively impacting the citizens of that country(s), then we can discuss relocation. I'm all for moving those in danger to safety; however, I would not implement such actions if it will only create a crisis elsewhere.

What do you think? Cite me several examples of when a government or corporation REALLY did something to help a population after a natural or man made disaster. The people in Haiti are still waiting for that Red Cross money to help them, many are camped out right outside the Red Cross base there and still no help.
We radiated Japan 70 years ago, we put Japanese Americans in internment camps in their own home country, the world is sick, don't expect much improvement with the same crew running things.
You are correct my friend, the world is sick. What I suggest here, should have been done with Haiti. It should have been done with New Orleans. It should always be done when disaster strikes. We see Haitians, Japanese, New Orleanians, instead of seeing people.
We need to open our eyes soon and change our way of addressing these problems. They are only going to get worse until we do.
Every person on this planet should be regarded as your closest kin.
With Love,
Your Brother
