Carla Hinton, Religious Editor:
Inquiring minds would like to know if God/Jesus caused the earthquake in Haiti. The Reverend [sic] Pat Robertson said it was God’s punishment because Haitians had turned away from Jesus. Is this correct?
Could prayer have prevented this disaster? Recall that Jesus said anything you ask in his name, believing, will be given you. Was Jesus just pulling our legs with that statement?
Lastly, I know that Christians like to blame the Devil for bad things and praise God/Jesus for the good things. Isn’t God/Jesus strong enough to defeat the Devil when he wants to do bad things?
With only Christians going to heaven, that leaves over 5 billions of people that are non-Christian who are going to Hell. It looks like the Devil is winning more souls than God/Jesus.
Just answer a few questions, please. However, I suspect you will avoid them like they were poison because there is no God/Jesus, and prayer has absolutely no efficacy. You simply don’t have the answers.
Have a nice day. The Haitians aren’t.
