Does God Care About Haiti ?
Port-au-Prince ground to a halt Monday as a general strike called over the deteriorating security situation in the country left usually chaotic streets empty. The strike came just days after 17 US and Canadian missionaries were abducted after visiting an orphanage.
Thousands of workers took part in the strike led by local unions and other civil society groups. Drivers of private moto taxis and public buses stayed home while businesses, schools and government offices were shuttered.
Some streets saw tire pyres alight in Port-au-Prince and in southern Haiti, the AP news agency reported some threw rocks at the few cars there were on the street.

According to Donald Trump Haiti is a shithole country.
Does the republican evangelical Christian God care about Haiti?
If yes, then why hasn't Haiti been delivered ?

Can a Christian tell us why God has abandoned places like these "shitholes" ?
Are you persecuting me cuz I'm not Christian??? Just kidding...
No of course. But I think Christians should speak for the Christian god.
Trump is allegedly a Christian and he called Haiti a shithole country. What does his god say ?
I wanted to get this bumped up so I commented.
I wish Christians would speak for their God, instead of just saying that there is a reason we don't understand. And I never believed Trump was a Christian.
Reminds me of a line from Storm of the Century:
Trump is nowhere close to being a Christian.
Job?
That's not how it works. Always be very wary of anyone who claims to speak for God.
He allegedly defeated Joe Biden, too.
In four years, this may be one of the half dozen or so times he was correct.
About Haiti specifically? Impossible to say.
It is worth noting that Haiti is one of the most common destinations for "mission trips" of American Christians. There are people going over there constantly to do everything from building housing to improving community facilities to providing medical care to teaching children. However, I suspect current developments will curtail those operations significantly.
Lyrics... sounds like a "WHY ME" lament.
"Mission Trips" are glorified vacations privileged X'tian homeschoolers use to pad their weak college entrance applications...
And you speak from personal experience on this?
How did you come to your conclusion?
or did some nut job sell you that theory?
US, Haiti seek release of 17 missionaries snatched by gang (wreg.com)
One hell of a vacation, eh?
On the 8th day God took a good look at the mess he created and abandoned it for a fresh start in a universe far far away. If the Bubble Theory is correct, this was not the first time.
Star Wars?????
Perhaps because there is likely no god?
Couldn't resist the unrelated jab could you.
Even the the Christian dominated country of the Dominican Republic closed their border with Haiti after the earthquake in 2010.
Everybody should care about the situation in Haiti.
And not just because of some X'tian missionaries!
The people of Haiti are really the only ones who can fix their problems.
Thus far, they have shown little inclination to actually do anything.
I will mark you down as one vote for not caring!
Mark down whatever the fuck you want.
it means nothing and isn't even representative of a damn thing you read.
And Biden has not shown any desire to help
What have you actually done for people in Haiti?
Well, he said he cared.................................doesn't that accomplish something tangible?
As much as "thoughts and prayers".
Haiti does not raise any question with me. Throughout our history bad things happen to societies / geographical areas. This is what one would expect if there were no overall governing force trying to keep life 'nice' for everyone.
If one holds that we are most likely entirely on our own in a universe that is demonstrably hostile to life, all the bad that we see is easily explained. It is only when we imagine a governing force that cares about us do we get into these conundrums.
