Dear Mr. Wayne,
Whatever faith you belong, you must not criticize other religions like that. The person who posted the Quranic verse here is truly out of context here as it is for those who had been punished many many years back by Allah Mighty through earth quakes over making false Gods for worship & who kept offending people of right path. So, to that extent you are right to say that this verse doesn't applicable to Japan's recent earthquake to some way.
But again, plz do refrain from criticizing others' believes & faiths specially Quran (The Glorious) if you haven't had any bit of knowledge about that.
Thanks.
Don't you dare tell me what I MUST and MUST NOT do here, my friend.
I am very prepared to not mention my religious beliefs on this forum AT ALL, but if people insist on quoting the Qur'an at me, expect me to disagree. If people don't like it, then keep your religion off this forum and there will be nothing to disagree with, will there?
Either way if you think it is acceptable for people to preach their thesist views here, yet those with atheist views must keep quiet, then you are showing what hypocrits you truly are.
I am going to bat back as much religion as you guys choose to throw - so your call how much religion you decide to inject here.
Wayne.
