Senior pastor Cho Yong-gi of Yoido Full Gospel Church in Korea, a somewhat sinister sounding Christian outcrop in an otherwise majority Buddhist or non-religious population is clearly hell bent on keeping with religious tradition, the tradition I'm referring to is that of claiming the latest geological event on behalf of his particular vengeful deity (aren't they all). Apparently this time it's not gay people or Jews or feisty women that are the problem but Atheists and materialists, yes not being superstitious and owning an XBox causes his particular Christian God to slaughter innocents via violent movements of the Earth's crust; "show off" I guess you could say, whatever happened to the old-world guy who used to get the job done with simple plagues of frogs, this latest oriental incarnation clearly has no finesse, too many Godzilla films if you ask me.
Of course the pastor is now trying to distance himself from his remarks (I don't know why, there will be a queue of loons waiting to take credit) however, the genie is out of the bottle, the hurt is done, all we can hope for now is that normal people around the world ridicule the insensitivity and ignorance of this buffoon and those like him mercilessly, if it sows a seed of skeptical doubt in only one of this churches million or so followers then the world will be a slightly better place for it.

Thanks CB, I guess it wasn't real or maybe someone thought better of it?
