YANGON, Myanmar - The cyclone death toll soared above 22,000 on Tuesday and more than 41,000 others were missing as the international community prepared to rush in aid after the country's deadliest storm on record, state radio reported.


Up to 1 million people may be homeless after Cyclone Nargis hit the Southeast Asian nation, also known as Burma, early Saturday. Some villages have been almost totally eradicated and vast rice-growing areas are wiped out, the World Food Program said.

I thought Thailand was Budhist.. so it would be Buddha taking care of business there. Or am I mistaken here?

It wasn't God, it was global warming.

Isn't Myanmar Burma? What has Thailand got to do with the whole story?

maybe God punished the people in myanmar

We all know that it was Bush playing with the weather machine again.

God only cares about rich white people and whatever war they are trying to win.

It's one way of decreasing the population... :helpme

but sorry to all the family who lost their love ones...

God didn't "Kill" them. God "called them unto his service in the kingdom of heaven"

Jesus... haven't you people been to church?

Barack and the Caring Lama really care about the poor people

Unreal.
Post a thread asking if anyone believes in god and it's loaded with ridicule over how retarded it is to believe in fairy tales.
Cyclone with a death toll and it's God's fault.

:1orglaugh


:eek7

Buddhists consider Buddha to be nothing more than a wise man, as far as I understand it. They don't claim he is a god at all.

lol. Pretty much man.:thumbsup

where the f**k is Myanmar ?

Budism people don´t beleive in god, that´s why god got angry, he wants countries where people beleive in god and kill in his name. So, the lesson is, kill as many people as you can, invade as many countries as you can, make as many terrorist attacks as you can, and then, god will let you be in peace.

God have reasons why things like this happened...

I just read this thread, I feel punished!

Maybe it was the cyclone which kills those people ?

Maybe God does not exist ?

Is a cyclone same thing as a huricane or is it a tornado?

Wow it's interesting how disconnected everyone is with places outside of the USA...

This is a serious tragedy and yer all just cracking jokes and talking about it like its no big deal..

But OMG a few people die in the USA and it's end of the world.

:1orglaugh:321GFY

Why? ´Cause he can.... sorry, it´s terrible and God or whatever has nothing to do with it....

ohh.. well thanx for clarifying! I did not know that

It wasn't God, it was an authoritarian government that knew the disaster was coming and failed to help its own people.

if nobody knows where the hell it is on a map does it really exist?

Nobody cares about it if at least....

Myanmar - (BURMA) has nothing to do with Thailand other than the fact that Thailand borders the country. The population is 89% Buddhist.

I'm worried about people getting help in this, isn't Myanmar/Burma almost as locked down as North Korea to the outside world?

Call it natural birth control...

Well after all he is just looking after his own. :winkwink:

Yes it is, the only diffiernce is a huricane turns counterclockwise and a cyclone turns clockwise. :)

God kills millions of people everyday. You know why? Cuz we're supposed to die. Scarey, right? no.

My starting this thread was an effort to make one really think about life,death,war,mother nature,compassion,empathy and god..<meaning all religions and whoever they consider there god> not just any one religion....


ironic how mother nature/god took 20,000 buddhst from a country 99&#37; of us never heard of before today....i guess mother nature/god can count on the jews,moslems,christians and catholics to do eathother in rather than strike down 20 thousand of them with a wet fart

Wow, sounds exactly like Katrina!

But you don't care right, they were just second rate black citizens mostly.

Oh thats upsetting...

Yep.

Also global warming was created by God.
Oh, you say humans did it? Well God created Humans.
Oh you say God gave us free will? Yes, but he is divine and has laid out our paths and therefore KNEW when he created us that we would contribute to the global warming. Therefore while we are made to think we have free will, we certainly don't due to grand design.

Therefore religion = fail.

you're being myopic. "god" is killing and giving life to millions and billions in all sorts of ways at each and every moment. you are focusing on a single event at the exclusion of all others.

the fact is that death is a part of life - "god" or not. people died because people die. that's what we do.

after we die we will be born again - either our molecules will go back into the universe from which we came, in which case we will in time come again from the universe. OR our "spirit" will migrate to a new situation. Spirit or no, there is reincarnation - so it's not a DISASTER that people die. and don't "blame" god or the universe. blame yourself for attachement to material things which makes you wish vainly that you didn't die.

that assumes that "god" creates puppets. your third given is not sound. the future is not predetermined. nor is global warming, death, etc. etc. inherently evil or without true and good outcome in the end.

Religion is black and white. I've talked to priests and pastors and they claim God created them for a purpose and life is laid out for them. But we have free will to say "FUCK YOU" to a guy who shoots us in the face. But we were created to die for that reason, therefore we have no free will because everything is predetermined.

They try to skirt around it, but I've discussed this with many religious icons and they really realize how black and white it is.

Also the future is predetermined. We are set to go to the Apoloclypse according to the Bible. Our future is set. There's no arguing that God states we have an end that is planned.

If you disagree, you're being blasphemous for not assuming God has a grand plan. :) Fact.

god has better things to do then kill "people" ... we do a good job of that on our own. He's like a webmaster in the cosmos. Earth is a dead site he forgot to update along time ago. He's got bigger names on the other line... better projects

the religious icons you have spoken with are retarded.

have you spoken to many Hindu sadhus? I would doubt it.

The bible and christians are dumb. That doesn't mean religion or god is dumb, it means that christians and their bible are silly.

Mother Earth has been on the Rag lately

Correct. They are idiots, and so is the entire catholic and christian religion.

Hindu sadhus would say the same thing bro
It is all fate, all pre determined, we are nothing more puppets, executing HIS will and paying for our deeds (karmas)
I too am sometimes saddened by god's deeds but am still looking for answers

Something along these lines.....
All the same thing really just depends if you're northern or southern hemisphere.

Cyclone = Clockwise (low pressure southern hemisphere, high pressure northern)
Anti-Cyclone = anti-clockwise
Hurricane = Typhoon = Anti-Cyclone + Large + Fast
Tornado = small local cyclone

Seems like in the US you call anti-cyclone just by cyclone tho......

-Ben

:1orglaugh

Because he was upset that idiots are actually at gas stations holding prayer sessions for lower gas prices.

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

where the fuck did you come up with that? A cyclone is a tropical storm. It turns counterclockwise in the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern... same as toilets when you flush them.

they'll all be living in LA next week, free rent, free food, free medical etc... shit, probably get cars and free gas cards too.

Tornados in AK killed 7 people and a cyclone in Myanmar killed 20k, not to mention scandal with the military government not allowing aid workers into the country to help. Guess which story gets more air time on CNN and Fox. blah.

"Christian" isn't a religion, it is a faith.

God allows Christians to get the thundershits too. I bet you didn't know that. :D

God that is so sad
