So my mother said that Haiti got the earthquake because they practice witchcraft && s
Ok she said her (Devout Christian) friend told her that Haiti got the earthquake because the majority of them practice Santeria and witchcraft and all that and God does not approve of that therefore he hit them with an earthquake.I was so mad and kinda shocked my mother agreed with that but I didn't know what to say.She said that its written in the Bible and blah blah blah.......does anyone have any opinions on this?also what would be a good way to prove her wrong or to make her feel ID......dumb.
I don't practice Santeria, I ain't got no crystal ball. If I had a million dollars well I... I'd spend it all.
People who worship invisible people in the sky who believe bad things happen to people who don't believe in their invisible person barely qualify as people. Whenever someone says something so completely stupid, just 'baa' at them. Remind them that Jesus is the lion, and they are his lambs... or sheep. Yes, sheep. They are sheep. He is their shepherd. That makes them sheep. Baa. Baa.
i doubt she'd ever change her mind. God didn't do this. its a natural disaster=disaster by nature. long as yousun't fall into a wrong mindset like that, we're all good.
Guatemala just had an earthquake.
It's religious makeup is 50?60% of the population is Catholic, 40% Protestant.
Is that why they had an 6.0 earthquake?
The attitude of her (Devout Christian) friend is why I'm turned off by religion (can you say "hypocrite"?).
If i wasn't so tired I'd be laughing hysterically. What about the millions that don't practice witchcraft? They got the shaft on this one from god, didn't they? In Th bible, there is a story in Genesis 18 [read it] where God is thinking about destroying the city of Sodom. God's buddy Abraham is trying to convince him to reconsider. He says something like, "if there are only 50 good people, will you spare the city?" and God is all, "well, yeah i guess." And then Abraham haggles him down to 10 good people. Clearly God has a soft spot for good people. Hit your crazy mom with that hard truth.
Side note: She might just be racist or listen to the wrong people (gullible).
ha ha I'm hearing that too, I'm getting kind of tired of it. people from India be live where are inhuman like because there god told them that the cow is its representation so they can not be Miss treated and definitely not eaten in burgers, like we do, so yeah for the catholic or christian religion well yeah they might practice witchcraft, but people have to be blind and only see things there way you have to see both sides of this problem, its like history about the Mexican and American war, the Mexicans would say that they had there land stolen, yet the americans in there history would say that it was bought but the mexicans had problems accepting it was bought legally. so yeah its I mean a really hard thing to convince people so do like I do take a deep breath and leave haha bye!
tell her that how does she now that her god is not full of shit and there god is real. and if she said any thing other than i have no clue or i studied it in collage the tell her to shut the fuck up and help the people in need since she has nothing better to then destroy other peoples religion
When god has destroyed the wicked in the past, he has always done two things:
1. Give warning
2. Allow innocent to escape
Consider his conversation with Abraham at Genesis 18:23-32 where God agree not to destroy the city of Sodom if merely 10 righteous individuals could be found.
Natural disasters have are merely a sign of the last day's Jesus foretold and are not the actions of God. This world is lying in the power of the wicked one in these last days and it is not God that is responsible for our distress.
Sharing that idea with your mother might help her reconsider her position. If you want additional information, email me and I can provide you with more scriptures and examples.
No need for harsh words. Natural disasters just happen. If Haiti got hit for their practices that supposedly upset God, then Las Vegas should been hit long ago Lil.
I think Christians like this give other believers a bad name. Ask her "did God tell your friend this personally?" I just want you all to know that everyone is different...just because one Christian said something, doesn't mean we all agree like zombies. The God I know is loving and slow to anger.
My pastor said at church on Sunday "Put aside all the condemning remarks from certain Christians and let's lift up Haiti and the many people affected by the earthquake in prayer. God loves them too!!"
She must be watch that idiot Pat Roberson. Any devout true Christian should Know better. If we said such thing and fail to act we ain't better than Satan.
