09/12-13 Hurricane Katrina: Rescuing the Rescuers and Rebuilding

Quote From: kevinmd

Its very hard for me to listen to hogwash like this and not get upset. How naive and ignorant and misguided so many people are. THERE IS NOT SUCH A THING AS "GOD"! "God" does not exist. You people sit here and talk about the power of prayer and talk about praying to your almighty God for strength and courage...the same God that was so gracious that he thought it was imperative to send or allow Hurricane Katrina to hit New Orleans and leave over a million homeless indefinitely and thousands dead. GET REAL! I'm going to pray to God for allowing me to survive Katrina even though he allowed it to happen. Does that really make sense??? When will you all wake up and realize there is no "GOD". God is just a fabrication passed out through the centuries to maintain some sense of order. People need to feel they are living life for a purpose...not just some senseless, wretched existence that culminates in grim, everlasting death. No "Merciful God" of any type could sit back and watch let alone allow something like Hurricane Katrina to happen. As much as you all go to church and try to justify and rationalize this horrible disaster, you all dont want to conform to the fact that "God" isnt an entity. I just dont see how something so obvious is yet so vague to most people. "God"...umph! I have woken up and smelled the scent of reality, when will the rest of you? That doesnt mean that I worship the devil (who doesnt exist either) or am a bad person, I'm just enlightened. 

It's always nice to hear from people who consider themselves so enlightened.    Just one question:  When will you become enlightened enough to exercise tolerance and respect for others?

Let's just suspend reality here and say there is no God as you put it.  For those of us who truly believe in God we live our lives accordingly, what if we are wrong and there is no God...we've lost nothing by living the way we do.   If the way you feel is true and you don't believe in God as you say...What if you are wrong?  You are entitled to your beliefs just a little food for thought.   

  

Out of disaster comes great things people come together and help each other.  It will be along time to rebuild I know...But it will be better than ever.  Faith is all we have.

Everyone certainly has the right to their opinion, and if you don't believe in God that is your choice and your opinion. It is my choice and opinion to believe in God and to pray to him. If you would read in the Bible which was written years ago and really take your time and study it, you will see that many prophecy's have come true and it also says it will rain on the just as well as the unjust meaning that none of us are exempted from bad things happening, God actually created a perfect world then sin entered it which was casued by the human race.(with satans help of course) whatever the case, read and believe what ever you like but you haven't convinced me to believe that there is no God, and it really doesn't affect me that others don't believe in him or prayer for I will continue to believe and to pray regardless of what others try to convince me of. But it does make me sad that others don't feel the same peace that I know and feel when it comes to prayer and loving a God who DOES exist, time will certainly tell and I will pray for you that you will be enlightened to the truth as I continuously pray anyway, so even though you may not believe in God, There is some one out here praying for you and it doesn't matter what you say or believe, the prayers are being lifted up. And just becasue you have wakened up to smell the scent of YOUR reality (also known as your opinion) does not make you right, again, prayers being lifted up for you.
