It never cease to amaze me how people use times of disaster to appeal to emotions, for example, the pain of the Haitian people have been explain in religious terms nonstop. Riding the buses and walking the streets of New York, one is burden with the idiotic application of revolution, as people try to make sense of the Haitian disaster. Although not in blatant terms, as Pat Robertson’s, these people share the notion that God is the one that strike Haiti. For what, the reason is normally vague and nonsensical or some other religious faith is the one blame. God told us in revolution, they would lament. 
 
 
For years, I was always plagued with the gut feeling that most missionary Christians who venture into Africa have no real good motives for their visit. Indeed, history has shown this view, in part, to be true. Bible toting and God fearing men indeed did ventured into Africa; and what was the result, the kidnapping of thousands and the killing and enslaving of millions.
