And believers point to the factual things in the Bible (such as real places) and insist that this proves the Bible is true! I always counter with something like, "Yeah, then you must believe everything in "Gone With the Wind" is true because there really was a Civil War."

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
