Death Toll Climbs To 75 In Haiti School Collapse by Cayon(f): 8:25pm On Nov 08, 2008
I've been thinking about the children and their families in Haiti.  I went to Haiti several years ago. Those poor people have very little,  . . . .  Just sad to see what little they do have taken away.   Lets keep them in prayer

Peace

PETIONVILLE, Haiti – Rescuers digging through a collapsed school in Haiti pulled more bodies from sandwiched slabs of concrete, raising the death toll to 75 on Saturday as crews continued searching for survivors.

I really feel sorry for these folks.

here is a country who made a blood pact with the devil. The island is possesed because they refuse to accept God/Christ as their savior. Can you imagine that the leaders have accepted the Voodoo religion and culture, which is violent and destructive in nature, as the official religion of the country

tsk tsk tsk

what can we do but pray

Peace

Correct!

Don't mind all those people blaming either God or the Devil for all the problems Man creates for himself.

@bawo

Gibberish as is Haitians are not strong in voodoo and witchcraft?

@seanT - read couple caribbean histroy books. There are Roman Catholics Christians in Haiti but voodoo is the country's national religion. I am not trying to "bring down" Haiti. i am just stating facts that majority of Haitians are into Voodoo (witchcraft). Ask any God fearing Haitians.

@richy:

I was not blaming God for anything. please reread my post. thanks

@Cayon,

I've reread it as you advised. I wasn't actually referring to you, but the idea that God and the Devil are in charge of everything. I totally disagree with that view because it can make some just fold their hands and do nothing, expecting God to solve their problems.

I don't believe Haiti's recognition of voodoo is the cause of their economic problems. The problem in Haiti is largely due to Western conspiracy against the island nation.
