I'll never understand that logic. If god has a plan, then this was part of it. If (s)he's omnipotent, they knew you'd pray for it to stop, but decided to do it anyhow. God is pretty much stating at that point, "no fuck this place in particular" for whatever mysterious reason. I can't get to a place where god has a plan, does stuff according to it, knows everything, and cares when I pray to change the plan.

50 years ago (anniversary just recently came up) I was a student at Universidad de San Carlos de Guatemala. I lived in Antigua, and attended classes at the campus in CG. Antigua is at the base of Volcan de Agua, so called because the lake at the summit subsided in 1541 and wiped out the original city. Fuego is 9.3 miles away from Agua, and there are several other active or dormant volcanoes in the immediate area. I think anyone who has not spent time in a similar culture/landscape could not appreciate the cosmic/prayer/deity difficulty faced by a people stratified by Spanish cultural invasion of an established civilization (Ladinos at the top, Mextizos below, and Indios below them. Sound familiar?) and what it did to a deeply mythologically rooted Mayan/Aztec/culture (human sacrifice, feathered serpent myth, and popol vuh (their bible, most copies of which were burned by franciscans)). There existed a society that had more mythological collisions and intersections than a western european person can imagine. They aren't stupid when the volcano blows, they are way more conflicted about the gods than we monotheistically (I'm talking childhood, here) oriented folk are. This is me trying to condense what I want people to understand.

Pathetic.

Thoughts and prayers..futile..
But they need help.

They are not stupid or retarded. Some of the most intelligent people down through history have been theists. As fellow sentient beings they deserve our respect and support.

Its pure insanity! I saw on FB to pray for them, i wanted to respond that it won't work! Its the earth and you can't do anything about it but run for your life!

They want the sacrafice of the sitting president of the USA and his oldest wife/daughter (ivanka) might take eric and jr too

I hope they don't want aid - I've already sent them thoughts and prayers.

Hahahahaha that ia fucking ignorance of them

They are offending grandma "Pele". Continue the punishment.
