The earthquake in Haiti and its horrible damages to people and property put many other problems in their place of so much less importance. Nature can hit with such effect and with random, striking without any pattern or reason. I resent remarks like that byPat Roberts, who said Haiti was being punished for making a pact with the devil many years ago.

I am bothered by senseless religious arguments. Serious religious discussions can be enjoyed and instructive. Most discussions I see are at best silly and come from ignorance. With Christians being killed and churches being destroyed in many countries, it is especially silly to argue denomination differences.
