To be honest a man made disaster is a God-made disaster too [/quote]
Not really... God made man with free will to choose right over wrong

That's very christian...
and no, destruction is an important step in the world too.
All created life must die.
Both good and bad comes from God and there is no other source of power.

Yup, Life is a Test. If it weren't for these these little mishaps, life would be too easy.

There is an idea that it is easy to be grateful when things go well - can we still be grateful when they don't?

Wouldn't you be more grateful when things don't go well? That way you would appreciate what you had before..?
I normally hear that when things go well, people tend to forget to be grateful...
Re: Earthquake Hits Turkey: Hundreds Feared Dead
people have always died and people will always die.
Overpopulation is the worry of rich racist folk and they have had that same worry when the population of the world was below half a billion.

Despite the fact that death is inevitable...when it hits, its not very nice
