How long will it take TV preachers to blame the earthquake...
Edited on Wed Jan-13-10 11:35 AM by Deep13
...on voodoo and Haiti's tolerance of it? :shrug:

On edit:
I'm not the first one who has thought of it. Here's a Yahoo question based on that premise. Some of the answers are almost as idiotic as the question.

5. Nawlin's legendarily corrupt police and political structure having absolutely nothing to do with it.
Little matter of proportion there...

6. Katrina was just Katrina.
What made it a disaster was the Bush family's intolerance of African-Americans, and the general BushCo love of seeing people suffer.

3. "The gays" are an easier, more familiar and general target.
Sorry to be so cynical, but despite all logic (and religion in general isn't exactly teeming with logic) it's happened often enough for me to believe it'll happen again, whether the natural disaster is next door, in Haiti, or Timbuktu. :(

7. About 10 minutes longer than it takes someone to say...
About 10 minutes longer than it takes someone to say, "why do they give God credit for the good stuff, and try to pray away the bad stuff..."

Prognosticating-- a fun game, but I doubt I could make a living at it.

12. Was the "deal with the devil" a reference to voodoo?
I can't watch the movie here or at home without vomiting.

14. You think he would have learnt by now to shut his trap in these situations because
his instincts are so warped. It has happened before. I'm sure he'll do it again.
