We are all condemned because of sin. Our only escape is through Jesus Christ. Natural disasters and evil are an effect of sin upon this world. It is not from the judgement of God because of a pact with the devil.

It saddens me to see people like Pat Robertson speak out about these kind of things. How are we to offer comfort to the hurting when they believe God has wiped out their families?

He speaks in direct conflict with what the Bible says in
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

Your reference to second Peter proves nothing; this is a mere look into the heart of God—he does not want suffering to occur, but it will because of sin and judgment as shown throughout the Bible.
