This proves that ‘humble’ donors believe that Tsunami Victims Need More Than Just Sympathy.
The Gulf criticized for [...]

This was a Christian religious fundamentalists interpretation on the Lisbon tidal wave 1755.
I hope they will not interpret December 26, 2004 Tsunami as divine retribution. The Bible says nothing about Sumatra and [...]
