Fundamentalist points to Tsunami as proof that Mother Earth is not something to be worshipped
Stupid, stupid man.
"What kind of Goddess would, by her very own hand, cause tens of thousands of people to die?"
Uhm, hello? Has this guy even read the Bible? Let me guess... every last man, woman, and child, deer, cat, goat, chickadee and gazelle that died in the flood DESERVED IT BECAUSE THEY WERE EVIL.
Uhm, yeah. Right.

I whisked off a letter to the editor:
Would someone please inform Mr. Thomas that in Genesis 7:12, God indiscriminately kills every living being of the Earth and Sky, save for Noah's family, seven of every clean animal and two of every unclean animal?
Were some of the babies that God killed murderers? If he was upset with all the sin that was going on, why didn't he simply strike down the sinners themselves (as he did on a number of other occasions)?
I think it's rather crass of Mr. Thomas to call peaceful practitioners of nature-based religion crazy because a naturally occurring event happened to annihilate tens of thousands of people. I don't recall seeing the hand of God come down to stop that tidal wave.

I think of her just what I always did. She's a Goddess. She can do what she wants. Also, Shakespeare once said, "Nature red in tooth and nail." That sums it up for me. Nature is to be respected and feared, not disregarded. Because nature doesn't give a damn about me. And the Goddess gives a damn, but if I'm stupid enough not to think something is wrong when the tide goes out and doesn't comes back in again then I probably deserve to die. No offense to those who did die.
When you consider that people started worshipping various Gods and Goddesses when bad shit happened, I guess that it's not strange when they go and make bad shit happen again to get people to realize that THEY'RE STILL AROUND.
