[on Haitian earthquake]
very sad indeed, but why blame God? So much of Haiti is influenced by Voodoo.

So, god is not all powerful? God is not the source of everything?
Ok. We'll remember that for the future.
This may surprise you, Bella, but quite a lot of Voudun practitioners in Haiti are also Christian.
No, really. The CIA fact file on Haiti even says as much.
@Paschal: You forgot condoms.

..96% Christian to be precise. Haiti is more Christian than America is.
Dear bella1,
Please stop speaking for God. You aren't His official spokesperson, so you don't know for absolute certainty His actions. Every time you make a comment like this, you really don't answer the question of God's motives and you look silly.
A concerned fellow Christian,

Wow, my first post on this site and I honestly can't think of what to say to this crap. I'll force myself, first off, is this giy saying that voodoo exist and is capable of such things as an earthquake, because I thought that God's religon was the only right one, and that god is, you know god, and therefor has dominance over all things. So people who believe in voodoo couldn't magick up a earthquake without his expressed permision. So basicaly, yeah, it is gods fault, according to you.
Okay, so how'd I do there guys? First post and all.
Majority Roman Catholic with 95% Christian. Pulled from Wikipedia.
Yes, Voodoo is a cultural tradition but the official religion of the country is Christian. That would be like the majority Christians here in the U.S. practicing Homeopathy as far as I'm concerned (alright, not an exact match up).
Anyways, any god that would stay invisible on purpose and then throw a holy temper tantrum, is not a god worth following.

11. Pat Condell
12. Laci Green aka gogreen18
13. Richard "The Dick" Coughlan666.
13 is such a good holy number...
NOt forgetting that much of the Caribbean is also a volcanic area... Martinique, St. Vincent, Guadaloupe... And then there is New Madrid in the Bible Belt. Please explain why God had a go at that, and why it's one of the most dangerous earthquake zones in the US. In fact, why is there any earthquake zone in the US when it is full of such godly people as Bella.
* for godsly read hypocrite.
I would point out that the voodoo doll is a pagan european (witchcraft) item that was transported to Haiti and other islands by Catholics,,,'cept they hate Catholics too so the point is moot.
So I just point out again: Bible belt: Hurricanes,Tornadoes, Floods, Wildfires, and the KKK to name a few. Did you know the KKK pointy hood outfits are the same as the Spanish inquisitions and there are still Catholic sects that wear them in Spain?
"very sad indeed, but why blame God? So much of Haiti is influenced by Voodoo."
So Baron Samedi is superior to God?
Thanks for clearing that one up, Free Repubic.
Confused?
