Does the Haiti earthquake prove that there is no god?

[theDerangedArchitect]

the trouble with questions like these are the convenient-outs. if you were to ask a devout religionist why the earthquake happened, the response would be "because the lord works in mysterious ways". or, like you mentioned, "it's a test of faith".

i must admit that, in terms of god, i am a bit biased. i feel that the bible (the only true "evidence" of any god) could have been written by a human being, and that there is absolutely nothing that proves otherwise.

haiti is just one example. did 9/11 happen because there isn't a god? what about pearl harbor? the holocaust? which brings up another question: if there IS a god, which one is the real one? the tragedy in haiti might prove that haiti's god is false, but mohammed is true. 9/11 might prove that mohammed is false, but the christian god is true.

so frankly, i don't believe that haiti proves anything about god. it's either something that happened naturally (supporting the theory of evolution), or it's something that god wanted to happen (but we're not sure which god).

Danny Glover sez it was the fault of the U.S. because they didn't jump into the hysterics at the global warming cluster fuck in Denmark a few weeks ago. And ya gotta believe Danny!

To my way of thinking this is all what humans do to humans, and nothing to do with God or Gods. But the way the earth works is perhaps different. Or not? God supposedly created both humans and earth.

which brings up another question: if there IS a god, which one is the real one? the tragedy in haiti might prove that haiti's god is false, but mohammed is true. 9/11 might prove that mohammed is false, but the christian god is true.

It does not matter which one, at least not to me. Also Allah is supposed to be both omnipotent and merciful, so the question/dilemma remains the same.
