Say WHAT!??!
OBviously the deity was offended. Mightily.
After all, he/she/it went to the trouble of arranging the
earthquakes as punishment for things he/she/it knew you
were going to say...
It would be interesting devising the experiment to determine
whether the temblor was started by a deity that is offended
more by what believers say, or by what non-believers say.
Or, he/she/it was bowling, and wasn't even aware of any
upstairs neighbors. Yeah. That's it. Bowling. Big balls.
That's what you get for putting Alaska over a bowling alley.
7.9? Ouch.
