The Bible is after all about the spiritual landscape of humanity. Earthquakes are naturally occurring events and there is no increase in earthquake activity now or in the last century compared to the past. It runs at about one major earthquake per year, this is what a naturally dynamic planet does.
I suppose that interpretation means that scripture is not a powerful weapon to control the masses by intimidating them through threats of famines, pestilences etc. The literal interpretation is a far more powerful weapon in the hands of control freaks.
Do you realize it is Satan that is getting you to believe earthquakes have not increased in frequency rather than evidence based statistics? Ten Hail Marys for you waffle, if you please.
