"The main point, says the editorial, is that natural disasters “are a result of living in a fallen and sinful world,” and that humans and the natural world itself are both cursed by original sin, so you’d better focus on getting right with Jesus. Also that extreme weather, like the rain, fall on both 'the just and the unjust,' and God’s will is inscrutable (and of course human activity like burning fossil fuels can’t affect the atmosphere)."

"But most importantly, natural disasters are a reminder to 'repent or perish,' because see point #1 about living in a fallen world."
