MY reply is not thoughtless at all in comparison to your contention that God is universally loving, which seems thoughtless in itself. The Haitian example is one of millions of that exemplify God's lack of universal love.
I love my children with a love that is "real love". Would it be real love if I sat by drinking some lemonade watching them drown in a lake or burn to death in a fire when I could have easily saved them? I don't think so, not in the least. That is NOT love in any way, shape or form. If subtle mud slinging or crass innuendo is your forte I'll refrain from injecting into your posts. No problem for me.
