Brian37 is right. This kind of mentality is dangerous, the one like Little Rik said: "Now you show once again your naivety and gullibility by pretending that a father is wrong when punishing his children when they do something wrong."
What it means is that when you believe in, so called, perfect being means that humans are always guilty. No matter how stupid it looks in some countries that thinking prevailed and drowned human freedom. Like in Aceh in Indonesia where now you have religious police where they patrol streets and punish people for wearing western cloths, playing domino, having gay relationships, men talking to women... all because of 2004 tsunami. And since bad things will always happen punishing people will be more and more severe while any kind of rational thinking will be toned down.
Now could that happen in, for instance US? Closest thing to it was 9/11, but it was mostly avoided. Now was it that people were more educated or are more multicultural or it was because it was religious driven incident so it also worked against religion - who knows? In any case there were religious people that wanted to take advantage blamed people for all sorts of nonsense and indeed create that kind of state. Like that cunt Jerry Falwell who did just that by saying:
"I really believe that the pagans, and the abortionists, and the feminists, and the gays and the lesbians who are actively trying to make that an alternative lifestyle, the ACLU, People for the American Way — all of them who have tried to secularize America — I point the finger in their face and say 'you helped this happen.'"
Unfortunately many people already believe him. He does have his own university after all where people are fed this garbage. So if let's say US get hit by a giant meteor or it gets hit by devastating earthquake these kind of cunts will try to take advantage of it, but let just hope people will have their senses.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
