I was having a discussion on Facebook yesterday about this very topic. The discussion took a pretty funny turn in short time--what we decided was that it would be any of the following:

- Electing a woman president: "I shall permit no woman to have authority over a man... and if ye do, then I shall earthquake that ass!... This is the word of the Lord."

- Chile (the country) is spelled the same way as chile (the pepper) which is hot. Hot = Hell. Ta da!

- Although 90% of the population is Christian, they're mostly Catholic; not the "right kind" of Christian

- It's a sign of the end times

- Chileans don't contribute enough money to the 700 Club

- God no likey the buttsex.

even in this article I just posted it was written that earthquakes are common:

Richard Luckett, a seismologist from the British Geological Survey, said there has not been a spike in global seismic activity.

"If there was a big increase in the number of magnitude 6.0s in the past decade we would know it because we would see it in the statistics," Luckett said. "We haven't seen an increase in 7.0s either."

He said scientists often see strong quakes but they don't get reported because the damage or death toll is minimal. According to USGS data, the world is hit by about 134 earthquakes a year in the 6.0- to 6.9-magnitude range — or about two a week.
"The point is that earthquakes are common and always have been," he said.

breaking-robertson-claims-God-even-angrier-with-chile-than-haiti
Citing what he described as the “the persecution of a great hero who rid their land of Godless communists” as a possible cause, prominent TV evangelist and amateur seismologist Pat Robertson today argued that the 8.8 magnitude of the earthquake that struck Chile early this morning should serve as a warning to the population that “God is even angrier with them than he is with the people of Haiti.”

“If I had to guess, I’d say it must have to do with Chile’s persecution and attempted prosecution of their great former leader, and a personal hero of mine, Augusto Pinochet – who, it should be noted, had never been convicted of a crime when the Lord called him home three years ago.” The popular host of ‘The 700 Club’ and longtime bingo circuit icon also added, “General Pinochet not only assisted the CIA in the overthrow of Chile’s Marxist government, but is widely credited with personally arranging the meetings of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of his countrymen with Jesus.”
