I did have the same thought CL. My response was to the post at the top of the page about a Christian condemning Christians along with an entire states worth of millions of people, with perceived godly intervention by use of natural disasters as the weapon of choice, for punishment.
Yes, my post wasn't directed towards you. Lack of empathy and using this as a means of advancing any particular bias in the face of people dying is sad regardless of where it comes from.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
