So... I mean... what??
God destroys Haiti and kills 200.000 people (who else would it be?) and then these smart-asses sends them BIBLES!?
Am I wrong in thinking that this is so incredibly fucking idiotic?

"The Albuquerque-based organisation says it is responding to the Haitian crisis by "providing faith, hope and love through God's word in audio".
HELLO!? ISN'T THE DISASTER THE EFFECT OF GODS WRATH TO BEGIN WITH!? FFFFFUUUUU-

We LOLed at this stupidity in the religion mocking/bashing thread. 
In particular:
"hope and comfort that comes from knowing God has not forgotten them through this tragedy"

This shit sounds like some crazy yo dawg-meme. 'We heard you had a natural disaster so we sent you some solar-powered bibles so you can pray while you die'.

That's how religion works.
200,000 people dead - Can't blame God
One 69 year-old catholic nun rescued - It's a miracle!!!!111!!

It's true though. God didn't forget them. He was probably going through the population control checklist and went, ahah! Haiti! I knew I was missing something!

It's not about really helping the haitians, it's the senders making themselves feel better because they "did something".

God will punish you for having said that. You'll go to hell, where you'll be tormented day and night so you can rape teens and go to hell while being in hell

Bet it includes a USB port which makes it ideal for the aid workers to charge their iPod.

I know lots of people died but I have to think that this earthquake has done the poor people of Haiti a good thing, most of them lived in shitty areas and had huts for houses to sleep in etc, also alot of them didnt have clean drinking water but now all that has changed since lots of Countries are helping them out, even the Haiti government is moving those homeless people into nice villages, houses etc.
I like bum.

yup + pushing their product ie PR move. Must be loving all this free advertising, orders for solar bibles must be through the roof.
For the record only the indoctrinated think God + religion = irrational worship of invisible bogeymen. Hating on religion doesn't make you smart it makes you a sucker for the religions that capitalize on peoples willingness to believe anything to be absolved of responsibility for their own choices.
