More "mysterious ways" horseshit, no doubt!
I'm sure of it now, you are heartless.

Pointing out the failings of an "all loving" deity does not make anyone heartless.
I feel for the families and the victims, as much as anyone else.
But we have to wonder why a god would let this happen and why his followers proclaim "miracles" when someone is pulled from the rubble but are silent on things like this?
Or why, as Min pointed out, they often justify it with, "mysterious ways", "his mind is unfathomable to us", or any one of a dozen or more empty phrases.
I also keep hearing that natural disasters are punishment. Then why do the innocent, the believers suffer?
Wellington, where I currently live, is considered one of the most atheist capital cities in the world, and is also on a number of seismic faults. But, instead of punishing the atheists, using the above statements, he practically destroyed a city named after his son, "Christchurch", and destroyed a cathedral for which the city was famous.
