They're sending Bibles. Not just any Bibles, though. They're sending SOLAR POWERED Bibles that have speakers to broadcast the Bible stories to you and your closest 300 neighbours.
No, really.

Date: 2010-01-19 03:29 pm (UTC)They won';t even get in - there's a huge backlog of aid not abl;e to get into the country due to the severely overtaxed infrastructure - there's no way we cna make room for freaking Bibles
This is just a level of soulless inhumanity that's depressing to watch. To see these victims and see it as a tool for conversion is sick and twisted - and proponents of it pure damn evil

Date: 2010-01-19 04:21 pm (UTC)When I waited tables, I used to get the "shareathon" group from the Baptist church up the street. They'd run my ass ragged, then instead of tipping me, leave me one of these (http://www.swansoninc.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2068). And when I blew a gasket one night and told them they were assholes, they were all "It's your reward in heaven that is important!"
People who do that shit are in no way Christian, and Jesus would beat the fuck out of them for that stunt.

Date: 2010-01-19 04:05 pm (UTC)The fact that they're wrong *and* stupid *and* that a trivial examination of the real world would show this to them is just icing on the cake.

Date: 2010-01-19 03:43 pm (UTC)personally, I'm thinking that they'll hotwire them and use the solar power and hand crank feature to power something else like cell phones or other small electronics.
Anyone else have any bright ideas?

Date: 2010-01-19 04:17 pm (UTC)Also, i wonder how those numbers will start looking after the people of Haiti notice that Pat Robertson called them devil worshipers. if I were a Haitian Christian and a famous Christian leader called me a devil worshiper, I might be a little miffed with the idea.

Date: 2010-01-19 04:29 pm (UTC)A side note that may be of interest. Robertson's comment most likely refers to the 1791 Vodou ceremony in Bwa Kayiman, which preceded the uprising. Here is the text from the plaque in the forest.
"The god who created the earth; who created the sun that gives us light.The god who holds up the ocean; who makes the thunder roar. Our God who has ears to hear. You who are hidden in the clouds; who watch us from where you are. You see all that the white has made us suffer. The white man's god asks him to commit crimes. But the god within us wants to do good. Our god, who is so good, so just, he orders us to revenge our wrongs. It's he who will direct our arms and bring us the victory. It's he who will assist us. We all should throw away the image of the white men's god who is so pitiless. Listen to the voice for liberty that sings in all our hearts."
Devil worshippers, clearly. Every last one of them.

For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.' "They also will answer, `Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?' "He will reply, `I tell you the truth, whatever you did not do to one of the least of these, you did not do to me.' AFAIK, Jesus was never recorded as saying anything about preaching and converting.
YES!
