Re: Christchurch Earthquake
Isn't that odd... I just read the "Atheist's viewpoint" link above, and until I did so, hadn't noticed the uncompromisingly religious name of the city. "Christchurch" was, and is, just the name of a place.

Re: Christchurch Earthquake
Listening to the news of the earthquake radio this morning they mentioned people having limbs amputated to be freed. My daughter looked up and asked me, "Mum, why do you look like you're about to cry".
To ignore the absence of evidence is the base of true faith.

We get used to these things in the media I guess.. death is sad but when it's frequent and far away we get a bit blase, but personal accounts always get me Men! They're all beasts!
Yeah. But isn't it wonderful?

There was also a case of a woman who spoke to one of the newsreaders over the phone Tuesday night, she was rescued. Moving.
