How Can christians take advantage of such suffering?

Just read a blog post by Social IQ Lady that sort of struck home.  It just seems that theitards want to take this (or any natural disaster) as some sort of warning that it isn't.  Now, there was a young lady that was attempting to pull a Poe on us, and her actions are equally as despicable.  Especially since it is nearly inevitable that the theitards will oblige us in no time at all.  Of course, it's all in their heads (like their entire religion).

What I can't understand is that this gawd idiot can only make earthquakes happen where there is a natural mechanism for said earthquakes...  And what is with this asshole's aim?  He wipes out a bunch of people, to include children, and even a few of his own followers for good measure.  But then a place like Mecca has stood unmolested since it was set up.  Or the pedophiles of the world seem to walk around without any divine retribution (especially the institution that systematically raped children and protected the priests...).  Or what about the Haiti quake?  96% of that country is godbotherers, yet they get taken out (again, by an earthquake that only happened at an already naturally occurring fault).  This has nothing to do with how people act or behave.  Nor does it have anything to do with some petty, angry, sociopathic lunatic in the sky.  Earthquakes happen all the time.  Any pattern or connection is all in your head...

And as the Scientific American article mention, these people are just looking for signs to prop up their weak and paltry belief system.  They will of course cherrypick with the best of them.  I bet anyone could do it.

Let's see...
Christianity takes root in Jerusalem = the Romans sack Jerusalem
Christianity takes root in the roman empire = The roman emperors go mad and the Vesuvius erupts
Christianity is repressed = the roman empire flourishes
Christianity becomes the state religion = Plagues, famines and instability destroy the roman empire
Christianity conquers Europe = Plague after plague ravages the continent
Europe becomes more secular and turns towards antiquity = Europe conquers the world
King james bible is written = great plague and great fire of London follow within a few decades.
The puritans leave britain = Britain becomes the biggest empire of the world
The USA leaves its religious roots behind = The USA trumps the british empire
The religious right becomes more vocal in the USA = Mount st Helens erupts
The religious right becomes even more influential = The economy collapses and massive hurricanes hit the country

Clearly this is an indication that a higher power exists and punishes nations that allow christians to gain the upper hand.

Well that, or I'm cherrypicking data and fitting that to what I want to show.


Oh, just thought of another one:  Gawd so loved Islam that he put the Islamic people on top of the land with the most critical natural resources -- oil. Gawd wants all christian people to bow down to Islam and be dependent on the holy oil that he gave the Arabs control of.

See it's easy...
