BEWARE! Ignorance runs wild among us.

I was looking at the news on AOL moments ago and I decided to check out the earthquake that happened in China last night to get an update on what was going on. I think the first paragraph said it all...

"BEIJING (May 12) -- One of the worst earthquakes in decades struck central China on Monday, killing nearly 9,000 people, trapping about 900 students under the rubble of their school and causing a toxic chemical leak, state media reported."

Unfortunately, the story it's self isn't what I found to be the most disturbing part. That honor is left for the people who had left comments about the earthquake on the page to share with the world what they thought.

"Any country that eats thier own dogs for dinner had it coming."

"Great and painful tragedy.
Get smart, God is angry.
Return to Him with good deeds and love."

"THAT IS WHAT CHINA GETS AFTER ALL THE HORRIFIC THINGS THEY DO TO ANIMALS.......THROWING THEM IN BOILING WATER AND RIPPING THEIR SKIN OFF WHILE THEY ARE STILL ALIVE.....SLOWLING CLUBBING THEM TO DEATH AND LEAVING THEM THEIR TO DIE A SLOW HORRIBLE BLOODY DEATH.....AND SO ON.
CHINA IS A DISGRACE"

"Well, they been trying to kill us, our kids and our pets for years now! It's karma baby.
If not for the children I wouldn't care one bit."

"You need to get rid of your televisions and celphones and video games and magazines and everything else in your life that fills your heart with lies.
Technology is SATAN'S TOOL and he relishes filling you with false gods.
REDEMPTION FAST APPROACHES AND ONLY THE DEVOUT WILL SURVIVE HIS MAJESTY'S JUDGEMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!"

These are only a sample of what people are saying. Comments were being added so quickly that I stopped looking because I couldn't keep up. I am not saying that maybe this really is some "anger of God" thing, I am not saying it isn't, but I don't think that posting your opinion in an angry manner on a news story about THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DEAD is the right way to let people know what you believe. Ok, this people are all dead because they live in a Godless country? I don't see the people saying these things going out to try to change this.

What I find to be even worse than people using the death of thousands to shove God down people's throats are the people who say that China deserves this because of eating dogs and such?! COME ON! You may not think it is right, but in case you didn't notice, different people groups have different beliefs when it comes to things like this. In America, we happen to have dogs as pets. Ok, that is how we do things. In other places, they have to eat what they can get, and that happens to be dogs. THEY ARE ALL ANIMALS! To us they are pets, to them they are food. How much of the American way of life is looked down upon by other counties? Hindus find cows to be holy, but we still eat them! How many other countries find the rampant promiscuity of our society to be just as bad, if not even worse that China eating dogs? I DO! Do I think that God should send some disaster or something to show us the error of our ways? No, because that wouldn't change a thing for anyone. Wake up people.

End rant.
