promiscuous and scandalous... the earth rumbles in fury

"Many women who do not dress modestly…lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes."

Okay, so this is what a senior Iranian cleric was quoted to say as an explanation of why earthquakes occur. Hm..I’m not quite sure what to think about that.

Someone then asked him, why did Iran get more earthquakes than America, which is a country probably with more sexual sin?  His reply? That God allows those who “provoke His wrath” to continue sinning “so that they eventually go to the bottom of Hell.”

Wow. Such strong words. I believe in a God who is just and righteous; yet kind and loving and forgiving, too. I don’t believe God will just sit back and watch everyone prance around in sin and then clap with glee as He watches us being burnt “in the bottom of Hell.” 

What do you think?
