Faith Comes by Jeering

Lonomoholo alerted me to this article regarding delivery of Bibles to earthquake survivors in Haiti, by a group called "Faith comes by Hearing":

The most interesting part is that the Bibles are "self-powered and can play the Bible in the jungle, desert or ... even on the moon!" Well, that is just great! There are definitely a LOT of sinners on the moon. I am certainly intrigued by the technology required to broadcast sound in space. Interestingly, the audio Bible is purported to bring the survivors "hope and comfort that comes from knowing God has not forgotten them through this tragedy." I should hope so! God definitely didn't forget them, he let them live. He crushed all (or at least most) of the sinners. God doesn't forget. He is the holy elephant of remembering, and as pointed out by the lucid and scholarly Pat Robertson, Haiti made a deal with Satan to get rid of the French. God wouldn't forget something like that. But, his inbox is probably pretty full these days, answering prayers for more Ding Dongs from hungry Americans and whatnot, that he probably had to put off the earthquake for a few generations.

I guess the take-home message is this: Let this earthquake be a lesson to Haiti that the fastest way to get rid of the French is to make a deal with the Germans, not Satan.
