What tackattack cited was directed in the vein that God was being abused. I wasn't referring to you personally. I have a higher opinion of you. Yes Haiti is a tragedy. Doesn't mean talking around it should be taboo. 
They are only speeding up the inevitable, which is full on revolution. You don't tame an angry lion by shaving it's mane.
My neighbor 3 doors down the street fled Iran when she was 13 with her parents. Because they weren't Muslim her parents didn't feel safe in their own country anymore. Really sad in my opinion.
I've been to a number of strict Islamic countries, but never felt threatened or unsafe there (but being a man might be the reason for that as well, I'm not sure if I'd like to take a girfriend to Oman). Iran wasn't one of those countries I visited, but if the stories by my neighbor are anything to go by a revolution might be exactly what that country needs. Perhaps a remodeling of their political system to that of Turkey. Still Islamic, but politically more secular. I won't bring up Jordan, due to the anti-monarchistic tendencies of certain members.

I was merely pointing out that tragedy is spread out evenly among people, and far too much of it is attributed to God. As there is no god its always just people. But they do it in the name of god. You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid. Tinkety Tonk and down with the Nazis. 
you're free to believe what you will about God's existence.
"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

Ah!! That human necessity, the right on self-delusion. Treasure it.

I find it laughable that Iran is so demonised by the west, especially the USA. Iran hasn't been to war for over 200 years and yet the warmongering USA are the ones calling the kettle black?
.
Hasn't been to war or hasn't started a war? Because the first is definitely not true.
