LOL.

Non-christian nations are being punished!

Christian nations are getting all the calls and the superstar treatment....don't deny it!

Is it fair & accurate to question Why it appears non-Christian nations suffer dramatically greater casualties from natural disasters and civil strife than Christian ones?

On a pro-rata basis (Christian vs non-Christian) how do the numbers compare?
I don't read it as he's making a statement of fact, I read it as he's asking a question. Do you fault the dude for asking the question itself? In other words, are there some questions in your world that just shouldn't be asked?

I wonder, given the one-child policy in China, and with presumed many deaths among children, will these grieving parents eventually want to adopt?

You make a fair point, though I think the guy is a little misguided as the reason there are so many casualties in China is not because there are too few Christian religions, but because the communist regime doesn't think building codes are necessary.

Bingo. It's not that the question is bad, it's that the fact he is seriously considering it shows kind of a closed minded outlook on his part, IMO. I may have that idea pop up in my mind, but withdraw it in five seconds when thinking of the myriad other reasons besides religion that some countries might have more casualties.

Only 5 seconds? Dang. It would take me at least 8 or 9 seconds before thinking of something else. Then I'd probably go back to religion. Then to what's for dinner.
