BC, Freedom2012's point was not about which country gets most Tsunami but rather which group donates most for the cause. You mentioned Japan as the most prone country, which was an interesting mention because Japan is identified as the largest Tsunami relief donation in the world and yes, Christianity is not its major religion. Freedom, whenever you make these kinds of blanket statements, you are prone to the holes that you just saw in your argument. Don't tell me that the donation and charity work came from the religious folks. Name the biggest donor in US last year....take a guess....it's Warren Buffet who is Agnostic.
A celebrity once said how can you expect atheist to do good things when they aren't afraid of God. My response was how can you say you did a good thing when you did it in fear of some superpower? That's like forcing one to do something. A good action doesn't need to have reasons, you should do it because its the right thing to do not because a scripture tells you to do it.
I admire those who become "good human being" by converting to a particular religion. I say, hey as long as that changes you, I am fine with your belief. That's probably what a Scientologist thinks. Let's just not compare religions as atrocities done by religion, including Christianity, Hinduism or Islam, are none less than each other...just done in different centuries.
You also mentioned Dawkins and how he doesn't make sense when he says the question about who created universe is not valid, but questions who created God. Well, my friend, you missed his point. See, the question is not valid because it's like asking where does Earth start or end. If you start asking who created Universe, who created the big bang, then I can ask you who created God? The whole thing is not valid and he was giving an example of this.
Lastly, Religion is good as a philosophy, not as a doctrine or book of law. People then misuse religion to advance their ajenda and interpretation of the scriptures.
