To Ron: What on earth was the radio evangelists thinking in saying that Haitian people brought the earthquake tragedy on themselves? Is this man insane? Has he no passion?

From Ron: The answers to your questions are 1- I have no idea; 2- Yes; 3- None. From the get go, starting with tribal medicine men, all leaders of organized religions have manufactured enemies to frighten believers into physical submission and financial sacrifice. The unspoken message of the radio wing nut was that people should not send their money to Halite but to send money to him instead. This so called "television ministry" has made tens of millions of dollar over the last 30 years using such hate tactics.

The only difference between P. R. and the Phelps guy who shows up at gay and military funeral with religious hate signs, is that one is far richer than the other. Both are totally lacking in basic Christian charity.

(Above: Satan (Lucifer) in classical paintings and statues was often portrayed naked, usually with an erection or a very, very long penis. Also, the ancients were treated to paintings based on religious beliefs that in hell the devil would constantly use his large phallus on both men and women. At some point the penis was changed to a long tail to avoid offense among those unfamiliar with the male anatomy, and being screwed for eternally in hell was dropped. In sum, the long, hard penis of sexual punishment turned into a long harmless and useless tail.)
