Earthquake Hits Turkey: Hundreds Feared Dead

Up to 1,000 people are feared dead after a major earthquake hit south-east Turkey.

Dozens of buildings were destroyed by the blast in the city of Van, trapping some victims alive under debris.

At least 100 people were believed to have been killed, although officials said the final toll could reach 1,000.

Emergency workers and residents were battling to dig people out of the rubble, using their bare hands.

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.

 

or big things.

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

I was saying it in proportion to the possible mishaps in the after life.

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...

 

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.
