A true man of God has spoken.
A government minister has blamed Indonesia's recent string of natural disasters on people's immorality.
Communication and Information Minister Tifatul Sembiring said that there were many television programmes that destroyed morals.
Therefore, the minister said, natural disasters would continue to occur.
His comments came as he addressed a prayer meeting on Friday in Padang, Sumatra, which was hit by a powerful earthquake in late September.
He also hit out at rising decadence - proven, he said, by the availability of Indonesia-made pornographic DVDs in local markets - and called for tougher laws.
According to the Jakarta Globe, his comments sparked an angry reaction on the internet, particularly among those who followed him on social networking site Twitter.

Let us pray for the people of Indonesia who partake in sinful tv and DVD practices; as well as for all those using satanic sites like Twitter and Facebook.
Jesus did not die in vain.
