   Jesus would continue to leave men to their free will (they will have their time of judgment). To the powerful elite who holds the government, he would not meddle in their continuous aim to tyrannize every country that seems fit (USA-IRAQ). But he would send missionaries to help aid in the poor civilian victims.
   To the people struck by calamity as nature has its natural inevitable way of processing itself (natural law)(don’t blame God!)Loss of life can be avoided through emergency planning, education, and the construction of buildings that sway rather than break under the stress of an earthquake.
   To remind us that we are all under the care of a loving God we forgot the old ways of coping with nature’s calamity whom the scientist are eagerly studying now, “can animals sense earthquake”? from National Geographic..

   as the Bible stated in Genesis “And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. Gen. 1:28. They were created for His glory and for us too.

   to amputees, mongoloids, the deaf, mute and
   the blind?
   Why,! they are our inspiration because in spite and despite of their handicap they are happily living in their known environment and not as murmurs as we are. We see people born with disabilities who excel above their known limits and are happy. It’s a matter of perspective. Life is not as it is if we share the same life conditions. We would not learn to care for other people if we ourselves didn’t experience problems, troubles and calamities.
   Christianity stands the test of time in 2 millenniums past. Christians didn’t realize that it is absurd to believe in Jesus Divine. On the contrary, belief in Jesus becomes more rational in the year present. Many Emails come from Christians who have the impression that Christianity is rapidly growing around the world and that the number of Christian adherents is steadily growing as a percentage of the world’s total population. Christianity certainly is growing. Noted Christian author George Weigel notes that: “There were only 558 million Christians in the world in 1900 and there will be approximately 2 billion Christians by the middle of this year [2002], a huge increase.” However, Christianity has been in a very slow decline for years as a percentage of world population. Weigel states: “…Christians were 34.5 percent of world population in 1900, and will be 33.1 percent in 2002.”

     thanks for the comment ma’am barbara.. ^_^

     me, personally don’t blame anyone or even jesus “christ” to what’s happening in the world, for, i know to myself that this jesus “christ” will never do harm to humanity…

     as what yodz said..”He can’t do anything, because, like any mortal man – that is if he really lived – he is long dead.
     Humans created Jesus, therefore in troublesome time, we can create millions of Jesus or Buddha or Allah to ease the suffering of our brothers — Truth alone can help us.”

     if jesus “christ” really lived- he’s long dead, he can no longer help…

     ^_^

     Barbara, visit Cambodia, and tell the women and children there that despite having their limbs blown off by landmines, that living happy, productive lives is all a matter of “perspective.”

     Or the victims of Africa’s various warlords – I’m sure sure they can live perfectly happy lives despite having their limbs hacked off, or forced into prostitution or combat.

     Granted they can change their lives for the better provided the right moral support, but the fact that you insinuate that such atrocities are allowed by an “All-loving God” doesn’t make any, to put it politely.

     A “loving” parent who intentionally lets his kid run into the path of a speeding car to teach him the value of traffic safety is sick.

     exactly. we created god, not god created us. we created god out of (a)emotional and (b)intellectual necessities.

     (a)people want to hold on to some ‘power’ in times of need (death of a relative for example). or people do not want the idea of death, so created god for afterlife.

     (b)people before do not know how to explain some phenomena so they point to god as the answer. god of the gaps. but science as we all know can already explain almost all phenomenas.

     man can live without god. god is superfluous.

   Assuming he is alive and well, he’d probably start by helping in Haiti. THen he’d take the time to bitch-slap Pat Robertson, Rick Warren, and the other fundie jackasses who’ve been using his name for profit.

   @Barbara
   we cannot really predict earth quakes and hurricanes and twisters. we can see them coming but its already too late when we see them come. if god is loving and omnipotent and existing, then She could just warn us ahead of time that a quake or tsunami would come. But She didnt.

   yes, some of these sufferings produce some good (like inspiration as you mentioned, or compassion, or something like that:) but these sufferings (most of the time, like 99.79675 percent) produce more bad than good. autism, down syndrome, Anencephaly (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anencephaly), and other sufferings produce more bad than good. these are just pointless sufferings. also if an omnipotent and loving god would want to teach compassion or would want to inspire Her believers, then She could do it in a less brutal ways (with less damage and less frequency:).

   you have a choice here. you can say that god is not all powerful (omnipotent) OR that She is not all good (omnibenevolent). What you cannot do is face the evidence of evil and suffering in this world and still believe in the traditional Christian God who is both all-powerful and all-good.

   lastly, i disagree when you say that belief in GOd/Jesus is becoming more rational. the number of followers of your brand of god do not show that it is rational. that is ad populum (appeal to the people) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum. also as time goes by, science fills in the gaps that your god filled. your god is becoming (or already) intellectually superfluous because science can already answer the things/phenomena we cant explain. the intellectual gap (your god is filling) is getting smaller.

   thank you and good night (este, good moring [its already 12:30am])

     If I may add to your assertion, Barbara will have to be more specific regarding which branch of Christianity she’s talking about.

     Regardless of which strand of Christianity you will follows, the bigger ones such as Catholicism and Protestantism shared one trait – they resorted to violence and intimidation to establish themselves.

   Jesus would convert water to wine. Ending up as a bootlegger.
