It amazes me that GOD is helping people win the awards but didn't stop the earthquake!

God really does work in mysterious ways!

1. But don't you dare point that out to believers here.
Because then you're a vile mean old atheist.

3. God gets all of his Earth information from Hollywood movies and ESPN,
so he did not know Haiti existed.

4. Award shows, football games, and the occasional plane landing in the Hudson
God doesn't have time for natural disasters.

5. Yep..the other day on the News, the "segment" was about all the people and Churches...
...that were praying to God to protect the Haitian people from further suffering.
I know these folks mean well but ...praying to the God that could have stopped the catastrophe in the first place ???

Boggles the mind on the illogic of such a scenario ...

7. He doesn't multitask
This god of theirs had to choose between working on the Golden Globe awards and stopping the earthquake. Clearly, he chose the awards.

8. Haitians everywhere united by faith
http://edition.cnn.com/2010/LIVING/01/18/haitian.faith.in.god/

Decatur, Georgia (CNN) -- Given all their country and people have been through, between political upheavals, human rights abuses, hurricanes, abject poverty and last week's earthquake, "If Haitians were constantly questioning their faith, they would all be atheists."

These words came from the Rev. Eric Hill as he prepared to lead Haitian Mass Sunday at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church in Decatur, Georgia.

Some of the 100 Haitian parishioners who gathered raised their hands to the heavens in praise, grateful their loved ones had been found. Others bowed their heads and clenched their hands for those lost, still missing and all who suffered. One woman wept out of guilt because she -- a U.S. citizen -- had been able to leave her devastated homeland a day after the quake, while so many were left behind.

Their unshaken faith and devotion to God is the same sort that's played out in other houses of worship, in living rooms and on the torn-up streets of Haiti.

9. "If Haitians were constantly questioning their faith, they would all be atheists."
Don't know what to add to that.
