Hijacking misfortune
Hijacking misfortune is a disgraceful act. A simple example would be to steal the wallet of an unconscious person, or exploiting vulnerable people in a financial scam.
There are more extreme examples, like hijacking disaster.
(Some) Christians have been doing this with recent disasters, the most recent being the Gizo quake/tsunami combo. I don’t have a problem with attempts to explain “acts of God”, or any attempts to help people cope with the situation. But to exploit tragedy for explicit desired outcomes – surely a special place in hell is reserved for those involved.
From an article titled: "Clergy blame sinners for tsunami."
Many clergy in the Solomon Islands… have blamed the catastrophe on people straying from Christian ways.Y’know what I reckon? Its proof that God thinks cheese can be pretty darn yummy. I’m speculating of course, and despite the assertion being no less absurd than God angrily killing people for obeying Him (yet disobeying His son), at least I don’t stand to gain from my explanation.
In Malakera, someone has painted on a smashed water tank the slogan: "Sin - contributing factor to destruction".
"This is a turning point for everybody. A reminder that God created the Earth," one young female survivor said.

It makes me very angry when any religion does this sort of thing. Honestly which Church are they from?
The article doesn't stipulate the denomination, but Wikipedia says:
"The religion of Solomon Islands is about 96% Christian with following denominations: Church of Melanesia 33%, Roman Catholic 19%, Seventh-day Adventist 11%, United Church 10%, Other Christian 4%) and about 4% indigenous religious beliefs."
Ah OK. Good old Wikki ..
They should all be ashamed of themselves lying to the people like that.
Just like when Jerry Falwell blamed gay and lesbian 'immorality' for 9/11...
It's nothing new. Religious nuts try and hijack tragedies for their own means all the time.
