I see many prayer requests for people suffering in Japan. I admire the empathy, but why do you have to ask God to help people? He won't do it otherwise??
I have heard it said that God doesn't make these horrible disasters happen. If that's your belief, then certainly you believe that he knows these things will happen (at the very least he has knowledge of tectonic plate movement.) and does nothing to stop them. So he is, in fact, actually responsible for them. In other words, your loving God is a mass murderer and mass torturer. It's like setting a baby in a crib with a poisonous snake....not helping the baby unless asked, and when the baby is bitten, not being held responsible and instead being hailed as a loving parent.
In order to believe that ancient fairy tales are real, one has to throw logic out the window.
