What has Chile done to offend God?
Well...., "built population areas" close to the subduction zone of the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate.... :-)

SANTIAGO, Chile — A strong earthquake shook Chile Thursday, shortly before Sebastian Pinera was to be sworn in as president. The aftershock reached a 7.2-magnitude according to the United States Geological Survey.

That proves everything. /sarcasm
Prayers for Earthquake Victims Ping (again!)
I really didn't think a /sarcasm tag was necessary with Jesse Ventura's name in the post. That dude is the head cheese of loons......

It rains on the just and the unjust.
If they have one greater than 8.8 in a set time period, it will be the main quake and all of this will become foreshocks. At least that is the way I understand it.
Nope, not picking any fights or pushin’ any agendas, just makin’ comments and seeing what happens.
So he’s the one...sinister
Yes, I just posted what I did for the benefit of those freepers that believe one of the ways God punishes is by natural disasters.
Although God does make it clear that He does use natural disasters in carrying out His sovereign will in the universe and on this earth -- at the same time -- God says that not all natural disasters are the result of someone, in particular, doing something wrong.
It takes a bit of spiritual discernment to tell the difference and then it's not always easy to do.
In another sense, natural disasters, even when not directly aimed at anyone in particular for something that they (or a "group") did wrong -- they are a result of our "fallen and sinful world" -- and thus -- in that sense, they all are a result of God's judgment.
One could say that these earthquakes are a result of the time that God issued his judgment against mankind in the Garden of Eden for his sin. And that this judgment has been expanded and has carried through to the world-wide/global flood, which created great instability in the world and its surface and the atmosphere, resulting in many calamities and disasters. And these are not necessarily directed at any one particular group -- but are aimed at "all of mankind" in their sinful condition, as it is right now.
Crazy talk.
Are you sure?
That’s crazy talk too.
Hope that’s not the case.
Chile will become history.
So, are you fully qualified to make these spiritual discernments?
This might be a dumb question, but how do they differentiate an "aftershock" from an "earthquake?" At what point would it be considered a separate earthquake from the first, rather than an aftershock?
In very general terms (and without the very specific details that scientists may use) ... it's a lesser earthquake than the main and initial one, and it's one that is part of the "swarm" of earthquakes that continue for a while after that main one -- during which times things are "settling down" and "readjusting" to their new positions.
There are a lot of adjustments being made underground during this time and that's what all these earthquakes are... the "settling down adjustments".
...or...sometimes God is random.
Prayers going up for the earthquake victims of Chile!
Putting as much space between them and Venezuela as possible...
