No God In Haiti

For over two weeks now I have watched so much footage of Haiti's destruction and the death the deadly earthquake there had caused.  The death toll is higher now than the day of the quake because of people being too ill and injured that have not received the proper care after the disaster and died waiting for it.  Recently I have been seeing so many people who get rescued claiming they are giving thanks to God for sparing their lives and pulling them out of this and I get really frustrated.

Why do I title this post "No God In Haiti"?  Because, from my viewpoint there wasn't one there that day to save many of those people who died, including children, that have lived the very same type of life that maybe those who had survived it thank the very same God for sparing their own life that did not spare others lives who were just the same as them.

So many people are waiting for help.  More help has arrived, but more help is needed.  How does help arrive?  Who sends these people to help?  And when help arrives for the people of Haiti, who gives them the help that they need?  God is not in Haiti.  In fact, if anyone is to acknowledge God in Haiti it should be to tell him he is responsible for all those lives lost.  The ones who are just as innocent, or guilty, as those lives over there that have been saved from this disaster.

Give thanks to whatever human kindness is shown, but don't give thanks to a God you might believe in that has proven himself time and time again to be irresponsible over the lives of human beings.  If you believe in him, hold him responsible and give credit where credit is due.
