Earthquakes on the day after Christmas and the day after Easter. 9.0 and 8.7 respectively. One generating a tsunami, and another that should have generated a tsunami, did not.

I'm interested to know what makes you think the second earthquake should have generated a tsunami? Many earthquakes occur beneath the sea-bed. Some generate tsunamis, some do not, depending on how the sea-bed is deformed.
As to whether the dates are are coincidences, I wholly and fully believe they are. I'm willing to go out on a limb here and assume that you believe otherwise? I may be wrong here, but do you think the 9.0 earthquake is something to do with Christ's birth, and the 8.7 earthquake something to do with his "resurrection"? I'm making these assumptions based on your contributions to this and other threads.
If you do believe that these are some kind of "sign from God", that's your opinion to which you're entitled. Surely it's more like the work of Satan, brutally killing over 300,000 people, mainly women and children, and devastating entire comunities?
(I'm not saying "Satan" did this - I believe it was exactly what it was - a terrible human catastrophe caused by natural phenomena).
Terri Schaivo being put on a feeding tube and then having it taken away. The Pope being put on a feeding tube and dying a few days after Terri.
Are those coincidences in your points of view?
IMO, of course this is a coincidence. If you don't think they are, why not? Is there any reference in your scripture to these events? Ignore this comment, I'm sure you already have the reference at your fingertips and are waiting with glee to throw it back at me.
Seriously though, I can understand where you're coming from re the earthquake disasters (although I wholly disagree with you), but what on earth are you on about re Schiavo and the Pope?
