Many Haitian's faith remains unshaken

 

I do find this endearing. Hopefully they will put away some of the vodou beliefs, which they have blended with catholicism (already blended with paganism) and turn to a pure heart toward Christ. I am sure a bold statement like this will anger many of you, but so be it! Vodou has plagued them long enough, and when they say that these disasters are the displeasure of the lao, they should consider that. Who are these lao, which they allow and encourage to possess them? Certainly not spirits that are faithful to God. The Lord does not send His angels to possess His servants, but to protect and minister to them. Does He use His angels, both faithful and fallen, as instruments of His judgement? I'm afraid the bible says yes.

 

I won't take Pat Robertson's stance and make any presumptions about God's intentions toward Haiti. I will however point people to the bible, and to the book of Revelation, which clearly states that God will, at a point in time, begin to pour His judgement out on the whole world. Jesus compares earthquakes to the birth pangs of a woman going into labor, and like birth pangs they come closer together and increase in intensity. There was just an earthquake near Argentina, thankfully some 200 miles off the coast, but it was over a 6 in magnitude. Seismic activity is in fact increasing. My link

 

As I said before, my thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Haiti. When I have some money that will go out to them too. I don't have any hate or ill will against them, I just pray that they turn from the rampant crime and spiritual practices that have plagued them for so long, and use this horrible catastrophic event, not as an opportunity to curse God, but instead to ask for His blessing.

 

OK now you may start to bash me.. and go..

i'll field this one

 

It's obviously an extremely religious country, so the obvious question would be why they are living in their own shit when quite a non-religious country like England (where a sizable portion of the younger generation practically mock religion) is much more comfortable

glasse i just pray that when the next quake comes and youre done being buried under a house for 5 days that allah will forgive you for worshipping the white devil and you will cast aside your ridiculous beliefs become a nice god-fearing muslim like god intended.

im hoping this statement is a joke that I failed to pick up on, otherwise you'd be quite an idiot.

 

Haiti is one of the first countries I name off when people ask who has been negatively affected by the World Bank, much of Southeast Asia usually gets mentioned as well, surprise surprise, they live under awfully familiar circumstances.

 

The sad thing about Haiti and these other countries, especially in haiti's case, is the damage is practically irreversible...

I've seen on tv they are using dogs in order to find people among the debris. Those dogs are trained to drop a shit whenever they smell corpses.

lol no man, if you were seriously asking that question I suppose I should apologize. If you do a fair bit of research, it's obvious that the political, economic, and social history of Haiti has been quite conflicted and the island has pretty much been raped since the early colonial days....also countries that poor and destitute with little to no outside allies and little guarantee of life much less a comfortable life makes it understandable to an outsider looking in as to why they are so religious. When there is no realistic hope, people begin to believe in something beyond their realities. I think that's true for every person to some extent.

 

I heard it from some song a while back, and it makes sense in the same application, "There are no atheists in the foxholes."

 

im not sure if my sentence structure worked, so see if you can get some sorta point from that, but mainly I'm saying, when things in your home are so beyond your control or beyond the control of any social mechanism, you are more likely to believe in the supernatural/religious

Edited January 18, 2010 by Smettingham Rutherford IV

and they are farrr worse off than most African countries, simply because their geographical location does not allow for arable land due to the soil being loosened by constant storm systems, erosion, etc.

wow, some amazing facts (and not the positive "yay!" amazing), pulled some from CIA and Wikipedia:

 

 

Almost all the jungle forests in Haiti have been destroyed for cultivation, almost 90% of all woodland is gone, combined with the hurricanes, earthquakes, and erosion due to it being a particularly mountainous area, most of the land is now in-arable due to a lack of a root system.

 

 

Over half the populous work it small stage-agricultural farming, yet this only provides for 30% of the entire nation's GDP. Not to mention most of the agricultural sector is being run out by no-tariff restrictions on US food and World Bank sponsored goods.

wonderful words

 

thats why the God i know and love want's us to see this world for what it truly is.

 

then we can all realize we are in 'the shit' together.

Edited January 19, 2010 by troon

lol, cheers for the praise, but it's not my saying, i heard it on some song I swear...but it really makes sense if you think about it....how many people that are atheist begin to pray to God when they realize they are about to be shot, hanged, etc etc?

 

I mean, there are no definite numbers, but I am willing to wager that there are many converts in that split-second.
