Every once in a while I sit down and wonder: what did the Indonesians do to God? I don't mean this in an anti-christian (... or anti-indonesian for that matter) kind of way but ... really. This question on the collection of islands making up the country first dawned on me when in December 2004 (yes it was that far back) the famous Tsunami (which educated many of us on the existance of such phenomena) hit. It was truly heart wrenching to watch events unfold and tally the deaths as they were reported. Whereas many countries were affected, Indonesia was hardest hit.
That would probably have been enough basis for my question above, but wait there's more. In 2005, 2 earthquakes and a further tsunami hit the country causing untold suffering. In December 2006 there's a Boeing 737 plane that went missing, 2 ferrys sank and now, there are floods displacing hundreds of people. Keep these guys in your prayers.
