I just felt my first earthquake, or what I assume was my first earthquake. I was sitting on the couch and it started shaking and I realized the building was shaking. It only lasted about three seconds, the electricity stayed on and my brother didn't even wake up. My first instinct was the get out of the apartment. By the time I got to the door, it was over. But for three seconds I was pretty freaked out.

, dont worry, ill stop kicking the crap out of you soon, threes a reason im torturing you. And, along the lines of the famous Epicurus quote, if you argue that God merely predicts these things, rather than instigates them then why does he not intervene? If he cannot intervene, is he worthy of being God?
