is it really true?

overheard a conversation today about the tsunami occurrance in south east asia...

on christmas eve, a pastor/priest/a 'holy person' (not quite sure which...though probably a pastor) was killed. and then BOOM on the morning of the 26th, the tsunami.

it was linked to the sodom & gomorrah event in the Bible. how there were christians there living in banda, but the non-christians (muslim) totally outnumbered the christians.

so then God just waited til Jesus' birthday was over, then doled out the punishment they deserved.

true or false? is it just coincidence? or totally unrelated?
