The people of Haiti for example have prayed for his presence. He came to them in an earthquake to draw them closer to Him.

A being that kills and destroys so people can focus on him is:
A mentally disturbed serial killer
A child who kill grow up to be a mentally disturbed serial killer
Somebody seeking and/or starved for attention
A devil
A conservative
Fundie Beliefs #4 - Theodicy
"Theodicy" is the attempt to explain why a benevolent and all-powerful God lets bad things happen to people. For example, why does He allow an entire city to be destroyed by an earthquake? No problem. There’s simply no such thing as "bad". Either
a) He’s "testing" us,
b) It’s part of "His plan", and we don’t know what that plan is; but since God is perfect, it’s sure to be a good one, or
c) It was Satan’s fault, and it would’ve been a whole lot worse if God hadn’t stepped in and put a stop to it.
Imagine how many more people would have died on 9/11 if God hadn’t been there to stop Satan and those heathen Muslims from doing worse. And don’t forget, if it hadn’t been for Hitler, no one would have believed all that whining about the phony "holocaust" and given Israel back to the Jews. Plus what would make you love God more: winning the lottery or having Him destroy your home and kill your children with an earthquake? Obviously, the latter!

BTW, I think Hinkley used the same explanation - wanting to attract attention (and Jody Foster's, in particular) - as his reason for trying to assassinate Reagan
People like this poster deserve all the worst that Mother Nature can dish out and then some.
A very painful terminal illness that results in personal bankruptcy would be a nice start. I'll stop short of wishing his children would suffer but I would not be averse to his home collapsing on his head. Vile little freaks like this demand all misfortune a very cruel world can dish out.

"BTW, I think Hinkley used the same explanation - wanting to attract attention (and Jodie Foster's, in particular) - as his reason for trying to assassinate Reagan."
The irony of that situation is: if I recall correctly, Jodie Foster isn't into men.
Okay... so now prayer not only doesn't work, it can have consequences that no one would possibly pray for?
You are seriously fucked up.
Your God is the schoolyard bully, and you are a suck-up.
Wow.
I hope you suffer a long, lingering, horrific, terror-filled death that lasts a long time and you are conscious, in great pain and aware of your fate the whole time.
Sure, there was probably a group of Haitians who all looked up at the sky and yelled "Prove that there's someone up there!" and God was sick of the whole smite-by-lightning thing so he chose an earthquake instead. Yeah. Yeah, that doesn't sound stupid at all.
Is that like when God kills little kids with horrible diseases so that they can go to heaven a bit faster?
Or else go to Hell, in which case they didn't matter?
One set of Christians explains the earthquake by saying the Haitians had forsaken God, and another explains the earthquake by saying the Haitians were seeking God.
The basic fail here is that they believe the earthquake needs explaining at all!
"He came to them in an earthquake to draw them closer to Him."
So, god is like the Godfather only inept? What kind of protection racket does he have going if he still fucks you over after you give him what he wants?
Geez, he sends all he hates to eternal torment, and sends disasters and tragedies to his followers as "rewards" and we're supposed to be good little masochists about it. What a pathetic excuse for a scumbag of a deity.
As for you OP, well, you know the drill.

Ever read the book of phophets, especially prophet elija? There God sends signs of him, and he couldn't find god in the storm, the fire and the earthquake, but in the soft wind.
I think your god disagrees with you.
Just a personal request...can I have your name and address? No, I'm not gonna do anything, that I can promise...seriously, it's not worth the legal trouble. It's just so next time a disaster strikes your home, I can avoid sending you help because obviously God wanted you closer to him
Your god is a fucking dick !
If it ever comes anywhere near me, I'll chop it's head off with a goddamn sword.
Jesuslovesatheists ? Thinking Aloud Forum ? I call POE.
Doesn't change the fact that YHWH is an omnicidal bastard, of course.
Feeeeelllll that Christian lurve...so much, only an earthquake can convey it. Too bad 300,000 people didn't get the message, if you catch my drift, JLA...
I'm sure the people of Haiti would be delighted to hear that earthquakes are a manifestation of God's Love.
Not.
As they would say in Haiti, Vous etes tres stupide.
Funny, one of your fundie Jesus Salespersons, Pat Robertson, said Haiti was hit with the earthquake because of pact with the devil. You fundies need to start comparing notes.
Yeah, because an earthquake is far more effective than just popping up, all in bright and shiny glory in front of the Haitians and saying "oh hay guiz, I'm God."
Waitwaitwait. I thought you claimed he'd become NICER since the Sodom and Gomorrah days. New Testament of Christ, with love and redemption and stuff.
Apparently, that was just God becoming even more depraved and abusive. Seriously, if your deity is treating you like this, you need a hotline.
The Deific Abuse Hotline could send you a squad of hand-picked Valkyries led by a Boddhisattva, to whisk you away from whoever's keeping you down. Just a dial away.
"He came to them in an earthquake to draw them closer to Him."
Haiti: 95% Christian
USA: 80% Christian

So why no earthquakes, tornadoes, floods etc affecting Holland, with it's legalised brothels & tolerance of soft drugs in it's capital Amsterdam, then?
Seems Jesusloves Atheists indeed.
And you WORSHIP this omnipotent, omniscient, and omnibenevolent "god"who can't think of any better way to demonstrate his presence to those he "loves" than killing them through what could only be interpreted as a natural event?
Seriously?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
