Do you know anything about plate tectonics or the earth's crust moving?
Why in the world would you think sin or anything humans do has anything to do with what the earth is doing on it's own for it's own reasons?
What exactly do you think causes earthquakes and why they happen?
Does your view of natural occurances seem at all ego-centric to you?

Earthquakes are nothing more than a geophysical event -- no sin or punishment by God.
Damn...

Earthquakes have increased in frequency and intensity as for told in the bible.
They were mention in Mathew and Luke as signs of the times.
Mankind turns to God when bad things happen and they seek answers.
Earthquakes more than likely will be used by Jehovah during Armageddon to bring about the destruction of Satan's system of things.
So yes, they are a natural occurrence because the earth is under stress, yes it is a tool that Jehovah can use when he has issued a warning of things to come giving people the opportunity to change and yes, they have both a positive and negative effect on mankind.

Loki was chained to a rock for arranging the death of Baldur. A venemous serpent hovers over him and its venom, like acid drips on him. Loki's wife catches the venom in a bowl to lessen his suffering, but when she has to turn to empty the bowl the venom falls on him. He stuggles and convulses in torment shakeing the earth itself.
Earthquakes are a result of his sin, not ours.

Earthquakes were created to show just how asinine politicians are and just how intensely a president can dissemble for political reasons.

It has to do with knowing that an area is earthquake prone. If you live there BAD THINGS might happen to you. It is all about that.

Duh?? We are talking about God, not some idiot. If God "spoke" this world into existence, then earthquakes are child's play. If you do not believe in God, then your logic is good.
