If there's one thing that his god (the Abrahamic God) has little regard for, it is women (SEE NOTE 2). And guess what gender the President of Chile is? Yes! A female! And what is worse than a female? Yes! An educated one! And what happens when people become educated? Yes! They tend to become agnostic! An educated, agnostic woman as a democratically-elected President!? It's no wonder they are being punished!
Given the fact that Chile's earthquake was much more powerful than Haiti's, one must suspect that that god finds an educated agnostic woman president much more offensive than a nation making a pact with the devil for freedom. Sure, you could argue that the stronger buildings in Chile required much greater energy to topple than those in Haiti, but that's thanks to man-made building codes (said the building code enforcement official), not some scriptural edict (This also brings up the subject of gross destructive intent versus net destructive intent, which I lack the theological background to properly address).
Anyway, if anyone has an "in" with our friend Pat and he has not figured out why his god put a whoopin' on Chile, you may want to pass along the info.

NOTE 2: Genesis lets it be known that women were only created because the animals weren't helpful enough for Adam (many more Abrahamic scriptural passages note the lowly state of femininity, but MySpace lacks the server capacity to address them all). It seems to me it would have been a more efficient move to just give dogs opposable thumbs, but I suspect to one day see a VH1 "Behind The Music" episode that reveals the real reason: That annoying little "erection" problem. Of course, Eve being created from Adam's own flesh does point to a sort of "go fuck yourself" attitude on the part of his god. You have to love deity humor that way.
