I can understand the people who argue that 9/11 was the act of bad men, because it was a case of bad men seizing airplanes and causing mass destruction. In the case of an earthquake there was no "bad man" who set it off. If God is the cause of earthquakes what could anyone (Haiti, the US, the world in general) have POSSIBLY done to deserve this. Why does a God who does this deserve worship at all? I know you quote Romans 9 as saying that is a sin, but that feels like a horrible copout to me. It's like your parents telling you "Because I said so". A God that feels the need to show his power like this reminds me of an abusive spouse. Anyways I don't mean to step on anyone's beliefs and I really like this blog, but this rubs me the wrong way.

Is God also angry with these uninhabited planets? The Earths plates shift, atmospheric pressure causes storms, and sometimes these processes make life difficult. Do I believe these things are caused by God? Yes, in a way, but not out of anger or malice. Just as it is very unpleasent when an individual has excess intestinal gas, it would be even more horrible if that individual and no way to expell it. The gas is a by product of function. Storms, Earthquakes, etc, all happen as a normal result of earths function. Is it possible that God determined at the begining of time that the decendents of people who were forced into labor would behave in a manor in which television evangelist would claim was against His will and He would be forced to punish them by making sure he put a fault line there four and a half billion years before it would be an issue? Well, anything is possible...but really?
