On September 19 a magnitude 7.1 earthquake shook Mexico. At the time there was a baptism at the heart of the quake. The church crumbled around the congregation and killed 6 people, except for the father of the child being baptized the entire family is gone. The town is coming together through the rubble and together burying the family along with 5 others that were in the destruction. Friends are lining the streets and carrying the elaborately designed caskets, because of the destruction they are forced to wear everyday clothes. Much of the town is coming to the funeral to support the father in his loss.
If you were in the church while this was happening what would you do?
~I would try to get into a doorway or under a church pew because that way at least the debris wont hurt me as much.
Do you think that some religions will try to make this against the church or do you think many will help them?
~I think that some religions, especially in the middle east will try to say that the church was being 'punished' because they aren't part of their religion. I think that these religions will either try to scare people into joining or other churches are going to send things to them like people are doing to Huston and Florida.

You only commented three times. You need to comment on three different days to numerous student comments.
I think if I was in the church with my family while this was happening I would try and help get everyone into the safest part of the church. Like you said I would probably get under a pew and hold my loved ones for dear life.
i would grab the kid and cover them or run away with them. because the child never got a chance to live its life. i think the other religions will rally and help. besides maybe radicle Islam .
I would try to protect the baby and I think that there will always be someone who turns and blames things on the church that's just the way it is.
I would try to get out as fast as I could and if that didn't work I would try to find something to hide under and avoid debris. No I think that all the other religions will help them out and pray for the people who died in their own way.
1. I would try to protect my family and hide under something stable that could possibly stop a falling item from hitting me. If possible I would try to get out of the church quickly, helping as many people as I could.
2. I think that a lot of the religions would come together to help with damages and the mourning families.
1. I would try to protect the baby and family that were in the church. I would also try to get everyone out of the church as quickly as possible before everything came tumbling down and hurt/killed everyone.
2. I don't think religion will have an impact on this at all. This family was just trying to come together for a happy day celebrating the baptism and Christ and all people will see that and try to help and support the father, no matter their religion.
I like your response and I agree that many religions and people should help, however, do you think that if this were to happen to a village in the middle east your church or your family would be as willing to help?
I would try to get out of the church but if i couldn't I would try to find something stable to hide under. I think many religions around here would help them in their significant loss!
I would probably dive under a pew and hope it kept me a live. If the building is built out of bricks I really don't know what I would do. I think that some people will believe that this happened because they disobeyed their god(s).
