(AFP) – 6 hours ago
TEHRAN — A leading Iranian cleric has told the faithful they must pray and give to the poor to avoid the earthquakes that have often ravaged the country, a Tehran daily reported on Saturday.
The comments by hardliner Ayatollah Ahmad Janati in his sermon at the main weekly Muslim prayers in Tehran on Friday came a week after a fellow cleric warned that immodestly dressed women were causing quakes.
"No one can predict earthquakes with certainty, except those who are pious," the reformist Aftab e-Yazd newspaper quoted Janati as saying.
"But with prayers... and alms-giving... it can be prevented," said Janati, who is also politically influential as the chairman of the constitutional watchdog, the Guardians Council.
"According to some revelations, continuous prayer and alms-giving keeps away such calamities. So, we should give alms and sleep peacefully," he said.
In a Tehran prayer sermon last week, another senior cleric, Ayatollah Kazem Sedighi, warned that the failure of women to abide by Iran's strict dress code was leading to increasing extramarital sex, which was in turn triggering more quakes.
"Many women who dress inappropriately ... cause youths to go astray, taint their chastity and incite extramarital sex in society, which increases earthquakes," Sedighi said.
You may well be right but unfortunately such people also cling on to a vast number of other invented stories, not just The Big One. Also remember that when they are lying politicians at the same time as demented priests, pretty well anything goes if it helps to subjugate the masses.Aurlito wrote:Maybe they need charity that's because they cling to these stupid things. I don't think there's a verse in Quran to support their claim.

Even with the admiration of an earlier group of intellectual stalwarts, Seneca is not without his detractors. In his own time, he was widely considered to be a hypocrite or, at least, less than "stoic" in his lifestyle. His tendency to engage in illicit affairs with married women and close ties to Nero's excess test the limits of his teachings on restraint and self-discipline. While banished to Corsica, he wrote pleas for restoration rather incompatible with his advocacy of a simple life and the acceptance of fate. In his Pumpkinification (54) he ridiculed several behaviors and policies of Claudius that every Stoic should have applauded; a reading of the text shows it was also an attempt to gain Nero's favor by flattery—such as proclaiming that Nero would live longer and be wiser than the legendary Nestor. Suilius claims that Seneca acquired some "three hundred million sesterces within the space of four years" through Nero's favor.[9] Robin Campbell, a translator of Seneca's letters, writes that the "stock criticism of Seneca right down the centuries [has been]...the apparent contrast between his philosophical teachings and his practice."[9]
Seneca generally employed a pointed rhetorical style. His writings contain the traditional themes of Stoic philosophy: the universe is governed for the best by a rational providence; contentedness is achieved by a simple, unperturbed life in accordance with nature and the duty to the state; human suffering should be accepted and has a positive effect on the soul; study and learning is important; et cetera. He emphasized practical steps by which the reader might confront life's problems. In particular, he considered it important to confront the fact of one's own mortality. The discussion of how to approach death dominates many of his letters.
