You saved me a lot of typing and you probably used a less less words than I would have. I was trying to imagine how someone got that whole little play script out of what that guy said. And then to take to the level of being an insult to tsunami or Katrina survivors.......That pretty much topped it off. I hate it when somebody twists my words and meanings like that. Good post!!!

One of the corner-stones of Christian theology is a concept called the Fall. Within the Christian worldview, this is the introduction of sin into the human race (as allegorised in the first chapters of Genesis) through the interference of Satan. Throughout the Bible but most explicitly in Paul's Letter to the Romans, the belief is evident that the Fall (meaning the fall of humans (not literally Satan)) has affected not just the spiritual state of Man but the physical surroundings as well. Christianity would say that natural disasters like the Tsunami were introduced into the world by this unbalancing mistake. Wiegel doesn't mean to suggest that Satan created the Tsunami (I hope! I haven't read the article though) As an RC member, I would be very surprised if he didn't accept that if the Christian God exists then the Christian idea of God would be a God who could happily stop it and so He must be accounted as responsible to a degree. He certainly wouldn't claim that sin literally lead to the wave since we all know that an earthquake caused the wave through the movement of tectonic plates and so on right back to the beginning 14 billion years ago. But what I suspect Wiegel was pointing at was the Christian idea that on a spiritual level, sin has infected everything. Sorry for rambling. I just thought you might like the clarification.
