CIJERUK, Indonesia - A landslide caused by days of pounding rain buried a small village beneath tons of mud and rock Wednesday, bringing the number of dead or missing from days of wet weather in central Indonesia to more than 190, officials said.

The landslide sent mud, rocks and trees cascading onto the Java island village of Cijeruk before dawn, when many residents were still asleep or were praying at the local mosque. Officials said 14 bodies had been recovered and about 100 more residents were missing and feared dead in the village, about 210 miles east of the capital Jakarta.

In the district of Jember, also on Java, the death toll from landslides and flash floods this week climbed to 77 after 14 more bodies were recovered, said local government spokesman Edi Susilo. Dozens were still missing or stranded.

Is this proof God hates Muslims?

Well they died praising him “They were yelling 'Allah Akhbar! (God is great!)’ and then were slowly buried,”http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10663281/

Now that that question is settled, the necessary yet troublesome question of which religion does God hate the most must be asked. There are many natural and manmade tragedies all over India every year and they are mostly hindus and buddhists who don't believe in a monotheistic supreme being. Is God extremely angry at them for that? How about the christians who live in tornado and flood zones in the U.S.? Is God an equal opportunity hater?

But just after midnight, families began streaming out of the church, yelling “They’re alive!” The church’s bells began ringing and families embraced, as politicians proclaimed word of the apparent rescue a miracle.

Well I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours but I hear that God has a sick sense of humour and when I die I expect to find him laughing.

Girl of sixteen
Whole life ahead of her
Slashed her wrists
Bored with life
Didn't succeed
Thank the Lord
For small mercies

Fighting back the tears
Mother reads the note again
Sixteen candles burn in her mind
She takes the blame
It's always the same
She goes down on her knees
And prays

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

Girl of eighteen
Fell in love with everything
Found new life in Jesus Christ
Hit by a car
Ended up
On a life support machine

Summer's day
As she passed away
Birds were singing
In the summer's sky
Then came the rain
And once again
A tear fell
From her mother's eye

I don't want to start
Any blasphemous rumours
But I think that God's
Got a sick sense of humor
And when I die
I expect to find Him laughing

Ssss....
