God helps those who help themselves.
The people of Iceland are fighting back against the crooked banksters and God is raining ash and brimstone down upon the UK bankster's heads.

Max Keiser will be so pleased.

1. Not to be nitpicky or anything, but
that ash is raining down on *every* head where it falls.

5. "God helps those who help themselves". Isn't that Hezikiah 6:1?
Except there is no Hezikiah in the Bible and that quote is not only unscriptural it is unbiblical as well.

God helps those who cannot help themselves because if you can help yourself why would you need God's help?

A more fitting quote would be, "The sun shines on the evil and on the good, and the rain falls upon the just and on the unjust" (Matthew 5:45). In other words: shit happens.
